摘要:
Disclosed is a method of separating a glass sheet from a moving glass ribbon, wherein the glass ribbon comprises thickened bead portions. The method comprises weakening the bead portions of the ribbon using laser-initiated ablation at the bead portions to overcome the potential for uncontrolled cracking through the bead portion.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing substrates, such as glass and semiconductor wafers. The method comprises directing to the substrate from a laser source a plurality of sequential focused laser pulses having a predetermined duration, pulsing frequency and focal spot diameter, the pulses being capable of locally melting the substrate, and moving the laser source and the substrate with respect to each other at a predetermined moving velocity so that a structurally modified zone is formed to the substrate. According to the invention, the pulse duration is in the range of 20-100 ps, pulsing frequency at least 1 MHz and moving velocity adjusted such that the distance between successive pulses is less than ⅕ of the diameter of the focal spot. The invention can be utilized, for example, for efficient dicing, scribing and welding of materials which are normally transparent.

A laser beam machining method and a laser beam machining device capable of cutting a work without producing a fusing and a cracking out of a predetermined cutting line on the surface of the work, wherein a pulse laser beam is radiated on the predetermined cut line on the surface of the work under the conditions causing a multiple photon absorption and with a condensed point aligned to the inside of the work, and a modified area is formed inside the work along the predetermined determined cut line by moving the condensed point along the predetermined cut line, whereby the work can be cut with a rather small force by cracking the work along the predetermined cut line starting from the modified area and, because the pulse laser beam radiated is not almost absorbed onto the surface of the work, the surface is not fused even if the modified area is formed.

A non-contact glass shearing device and a method are described herein that vertically scribes or cuts a downward moving glass sheet to remove outer edges (beads) from the downward moving glass sheet. In addition, the non-contact glass shearing device and method can horizontally scribe or cut the downward moving glass sheet (without the outer edges) so that it can be separated into distinct glass sheets.

A limited portion of a surface of a glass substrate is removed by application of a laser beam on the limited portion of the glass substrate to thereby produce a glass structure according to the invention. The glass substrate contains at least one element such as titanium, iron, vanadium, bismuth, lead, thallium, tin, cerium, rhodium or cobalt capable of absorbing energy of the laser beam and has a threshold of not larger than 1.0 J/cm2 per laser beam pulse in terms of machining energy of the laser beam. When such a glass substrate 21 is used, a glass structure having a through-hole 61 or cavity optional in sectional shape can be formed by irradiation with the laser beam 10.

Methods for producing glass substrates having scribed edges with straight and smooth ends substantially free of edge protrusions, and microarray glass substrates produced thereby, are provided. In certain embodiments, at least one scribe line is scribed in glass using reduced laser power at the beginning and end of each scribe line relative to the laser power used to scribe the remaining portions of each respective scribe line. In other embodiments, a heat absorbing laser element is positioned adjacent the beginning and end of each scribe line. In all embodiments, the scribed glass is singulated to produce a plurality of scribed glass pieces, each having straight and smooth ends substantially free of edge protrusions. The scribed glass can be used as substrates for biopolymeric microarrays. Also provided are biopolymeric microarrays produced from the subject methods and kits which include the subject microarrays, as well as methods for using the same.
