    摘要: Systems and methods automatically modify a laser-based system for processing target specimens such as semiconductor wafers. In one embodiment, the laser-based system detects a trigger associated with a processing model. The processing model corresponds to a set of wafers. In response to the trigger, the system automatically adjusts one or more system parameters based on the processing model. The system then uses the modified system parameters to selectively irradiate structures on or within at least one wafer in the set of wafers. In one embodiment, the trigger includes variations in a thermal state related to a motion stage. In response to the variations in the thermal state, the system operates the motion stage in a series of movements until a thermal equilibrium threshold is reached. The sequence of movements may, for example, simulate movements used to process a particular wafer.

    摘要: Processing a workpiece with a laser includes generating laser pulses at a first pulse repetition frequency. The first pulse repetition frequency provides reference timing for coordination of a beam positioning system and one or more cooperating beam position compensation elements to align beam delivery coordinates relative to the workpiece. The method also includes, at a second pulse repetition frequency that is lower than the first pulse repetition frequency, selectively amplifying a subset of the laser pulses. The selection of the laser pulses included in the subset is based on the first pulse repetition frequency and position data received from the beam positioning system. The method further includes adjusting the beam delivery coordinates using the one or more cooperating beam position compensation elements so as to direct the amplified laser pulses to selected targets on the workpiece.

    摘要: A laser-based workpiece processing system includes sensors connected to a sensor controller that converts sensor signals into focused spot motion commands for actuating a beam steering device, such as a two-axis steering mirror. The sensors may include a beam position sensor for correcting errors detected in the optical path, such as thermally-induced beam wandering in response to laser or acousto-optic modulator pointing stability, or optical mount dynamics.
