摘要:
Patterns with feature sizes of less than 50 microns are rapidly formed directly in semiconductors, particularly silicon, GaAs, indium phosphide, or single crystalline sapphire, using ultraviolet laser ablation. These patterns include very high aspect ratio cylindrical through-hole openings for integrated circuit connections; singulation of processed die contained on semiconductor wafers; and microtab cutting to separate microcircuit workpieces from a parent semiconductor wafer. Laser output pulses (32) from a diode-pumped, Q-switched frequency-tripled Nd:YAG, Nd:YVO4, or Nd:YLF is directed to the workpiece (12) with high speed precision using a compound beam positioner. The optical system produces a Gaussian spot size, or top hat beam profile, of about 10 microns. The pulse energy used for high-speed ablative processing of semiconductors using this focused spot size is greater than 200 μJ per pulse at pulse repetition frequencies greater than 5 kHz and preferably above 15 kHz. The laser pulsewidth measured at the full width half-maximum points is preferably less than 80 ns.

The light array of this invention includes a number of columns and rows of LED's connected in a series/parallel combination. The series parallel combinations effectively optimize the impedance, accommodate failure rate, facilitate light mixing, provide a means of imbedding redundancy, and common cathodes or anodes. This arrangement provides a superior light source for consumer, industrial and specialty markets in respect to mean time between failure, process control, radiant intensity, wavelength mixing, power requirements and other characteristics of the light source. Each column includes a number of rows of plural LED's. The LED's in each row are wired in series and each column is wired in parallel so that if one LED fails only the LED's connected in series with the failed LED will also fail. There is redundancy in the circuit as well as the arrays so that if there are failures different current carrying elements or different series LEDS will automatically by powered on. The array may be connected in series with one or more LED arrays to form a module. Multiple modules may be connected in series with other multiple modules.

An apparatus for marking metal in which a main carriage having a spray gun assembly with a stencil assembly mounted on it is moved toward and away from a piece of metal to be marked. Either the spray gun assembly or the stencil assembly is movable relative to the other in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the main carriage. The stencil assembly has a plurality of stencil rings each having a plurality of cutouts with each ring being indexable so as to bring a specific cutout next to the piece of metal to be marked. After the indexing operation, the spray gun assembly is activated to spray molten metal through a cut-out in each stencil ring for forming the indicia.
