At the same time, the University Eye Clinic asked us whether we could coat a metal scalpel with diamond. The unintentionally obliquely etched edge gave us the idea of using semiconductor technology to manufacture macroscopic components such as scalpels. Our spin-off was co-financed by the Gr\u00fcnderverbund, among others.
