摘要:
Examples of methods and systems for laser processing of materials are disclosed. Methods and systems for singulation of a wafer comprising a coated substrate can utilize a laser outputting light that has a wavelength that is transparent to the wafer substrate but which may not be transparent to the coating layer(s). Using techniques for managing fluence and focal condition of the laser beam, the coating layer(s) and the substrate material can be processed through ablation and internal modification, respectively. The internal modification can result in die separation.
摘要:
Methods for ultrashort pulse laser processing of optically transparent materials. A method for scribing transparent materials uses ultrashort laser pulses to create multiple scribe features with a single pass of the laser beam across the material, with at least one of the scribe features being formed below the surface of the material. This enables clean breaking of transparent materials at a higher speed than conventional techniques. Slightly modifying the ultrashort pulse laser processing conditions produces sub-surface marks. When properly arranged, these marks are clearly visible with side-illumination and not clearly visible without side-illumination. In addition, a method for welding transparent materials uses ultrashort laser pulses to create a bond through localized heating. The ultrashort pulse duration causes nonlinear absorption of the laser radiation, and the high repetition rate of the laser causes pulse-to-pulse accumulation of heat within the materials. The laser is focused near the interface of the materials, generating a high energy fluence at the region to be welded. This minimizes damage to the rest of the material and enables fine weld lines.

摘要:
In certain embodiments a method and system for laser-based material processing of a material is disclosed. In at least one preferred implementation temporally overlapping pulse series are generated with separate pulsed laser sources, for example nanosecond (NS) and ultrashort pulse (USP) sources (NS-USP). Pulses are delivered to the material as a series of spatially and temporally overlapping pulse pairs. The material can, but need not, be a transparent material. In some applications of transparent material processing, it was found the combination of pulses both substantially more material modification and high machining quality than obtainable with either individual pulse series taken alone. Other micromachining methods and arrangement are disclosed for formation of fine features on or within a substrate. Such methods and arrangements may generally be applied with a NS-USP combination, or with other sources.
