摘要:
The invention relates to a method for machining and releasing closed forms (2) from a workpiece (1), comprising the steps of: providing a first laser beam having bursts of laser pulses, the workpiece (1) being transparent to the first laser beam; focusing the first laser beam to form a distributed focus along a longitudinal beam axis; locating the workpiece (1) such that at least a portion of the distributed focus is within the workpiece (1), the bursts of laser pulses having sufficient fluence to form a continuous laser filament within the workpiece (1), the filament creating a void along the filament within the workpiece (1); translating the workpiece (1) with respect to the longitudinal beam axis of the first laser beam to create a plurality of such voids along the outline (21s) of a closed form (2); providing a second laser beam, the second laser beam capable of heating the workpiece (1); applying the second laser beam to the workpiece (1) in the vicinity of the outline (21s) of the closed form (2), the second laser beam causing sufficient heating to melt and deform the workpiece (1); and wherein the deformed workpiece (1) releases the closed form (2) upon cooling.

The invention relates to a method for cutting solids wafers (1) off a donor substrate (2). The method comprises the following steps: providing a donor substrate (2), and producing at least one modification (10) in the interior of the donor substrate (2) by means of at least one laser beam (12), said laser beam (12) penetrating the donor substrate (2) via a flat surface (16) of the donor substrate (2). The laser beam (12) is inclined with respect to the flat surface (16) of the donor substrate (2) such that it penetrates the donor substrate at an angle of not equal to 0° or 180° relative to the longitudinal axis of the donor substrate. The laser beam (12) is focused in order to produce the modification (10) in the donor substrate (2) and the solids wafer (1) detaches itself from the donor substrate (2) as a result of the modifications (10) produced. Or a stress-inducing layer (14) is produced in or arranged on the flat surface (16) of the donor substrate (2) and mechanical stress is produced in the donor substrate (2) by exposing the stress-inducing layer (14) to heat. The mechanical stress produces a crack (20) for separating a solids layer (1), which crack propagates along the modifications (10).

摘要:
The invention relates to a method of breaking a substrate of a brittle material, the method comprising the steps of providing a substrate (1) of a brittle material, heating the substrate with a laser beam (3) to create a heated spot on the substrate, moving the laser beam and the substrate with respect to each other to create a line of heated spots on the substrate (2), cooling the heated spots on the substrate by locally applying a cooling medium (4) behind the heated spots such that a micro-crack is propagated in the line of heated spots, and breaking the substrate along the line of the propagated micro-cracks by applying a mechanical force on the substrate wherein, the cooling medium comprises an aqueous surfactant solution. The surfactants will connect to the broken siloxane bonds inside the surface cracks. Then recombination and healing of the broken siloxane bonds will not occur and the required breaking load will remain constant over time.
摘要:
In a process for cutting hollow glassware, especially hollow glassware (3) with a rounded cross-section, an upper (36) and a lower (37) stress region on either side of an intended cut are produced thermally in the glass at a temperature slightly below its softening temperature by two laser beams (33, 34) substantially symmetrically to the intended cut. A crack inducing point (13) brought briefly into contact with the glass surface between the stress regions (36, 37) is used to make an initial crack on a section of the cut line which extends to form a high-grade cut around the entire circumference, thus obviating the need for subsequent grinding of the separation surface. The initial crack may also be made by focussing the laser beams (39, 40) in the area be tween the stress regions (35, 36). It is also possible to use only one laser beam to produce a single stress region, and in this case the initial crack is made substantially in the middle of the single stress region.
