Other materials processing Other materials Ceramics crack, semiconductors chip, and organic materials char, each under a different kind of thermal load. Femtosecond laser pulses are over before heat leaves the focal volume, so ceramic is milled, silicon and GaAs wafers are cut clean, organics are machined without burnt edges, and...

Femtosecond lasers have proven themselves in processing various materials with high precision and quality. Glass is one of the materials that benefits most from ultra-short pulses, which process it without the significant thermal effects that would otherwise cause catastrophic damage. This application note...

...of Applied Physics 133 (23), 235102 (2023). DOI: 10.1063/5.0152173. Water-assisted ultrashort laser pulse processing of semiconductor materials is a promising technique to diminish heat accumulation and improve process quality. In this study, we investigate femtosecond laser ablation of deep trenches in GaAs, an important optoelectronic material, using water and ambient air...

Ceramic processing with GHz burst Femtosecond lasers are highly effective for processing ceramics and offer higher precision than traditional mechanical methods. However, they often fall short in throughput. The processing rate can be increased by raising the repetition rate, splitting the beam, or enlarging the spot size. Another approach is...

Heat-sensitive organic material processing Organic materials are sensitive to heat: warping and burnt edges appear as soon as the cut zone warms up. Femtosecond pulses are over before significant heat transfers into the material’s lattice, so heat-sensitive organics can be cut accurately and cleanly. A FemtoLux laser was used to...

Femtosecond laser formation of grooves in ceramic Ceramics are popular dielectric materials known for thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to corrosion and wear. However, conventional mechanical processing methods require large forces that lead to crack formation and can break the substrate. Femtosecond lasers process hard and brittle...

...with higher resolution and better processing efficiency than laser sources with longer pulses. A float-zone silicon wafer (FZ-Si (100), 0.4 mm thick) was cut with a FemtoLux laser. Processing quality was high: a low heat-affected zone, no damage on the bottom surface, and curved contours that mechanical dicing cannot follow,...
