Also not sure this is relevant but LIGA is an acronymn for a fabrication tech used to create high aspect/ratio microstructures.


 


UV-LIGA  has been made commercially viable predominantly through the UV-resist SU-8 and the efforts of mimotec in Switzerland who supply the Swiss watch market with metal parts made of Nickel and Nickel-Phosphorus. Several other companies have followed (tecan, temicon and others).


 


If it's spelt lega, then they may have named it as a play on the above.
