Hello Danny,

You can use a dicing blade with a V-shape on the tip. The blade
thickness and angle of the bevel can be specified depending on how wide
or deep you need the groove.  We are currently supplying blade to do
this with a 22° angle, but the material is alumina ceramic.

You can contact [email protected], and he should be able to help you
find the contact person in Israel.  We represent their products in North
America, sorry.

Thank you,

Mario Robles

Subject: [mems-talk] Etching and Bonding Sapphire ...

Dear members,

I would like to etch V-grooves or rectangle microchannels on a Sapphire
plate and then bond the plate to another one.
Doe's anybody have an idea if it is possible to etch Sapphire at all and
then bond it to another one?

If it's possible, could you refer me to an article or recommend the
proper etching materials to use and the procedure for bonding the two
Sapphire plates together?

Thank you in advance,

Danny Klein.
