Micro processing refers to manufacturing steps in the SEMI, display, PCB and other industries where thin and brittle materials such as glass, semiconductors or ceramics require small scale machining for the removal of material (cutting, drilling), or heating intended to produce a chemical or mechanical effect. A few examples of micro processing:
