چکیده

Diode pumped solid state (DPSS) Q-switched nanosecond pulsed lasers are becoming the laser of choice for a wide variety of processes in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Lasers are being used today in PCB manufacturing for via drilling, depaneling, profiling (cutting), laser direct imaging (LDI), repair, trimming, marking, skiving and other processes. The majority of these processes are practiced today using a 10.6 μm CO2 or 355nm ultraviolet (UV) laser. In this study we have investigated the use of our new generation of Qswitched DPSS nanosecond pulsed 532 nm green laser for PCB processing. We demonstrate this green laser is a good candidate for processing some thin PCBs.

Highest-speed dicing of thin silicon wafers with nanosecond-pulse 355nm q-switched laser source using line-focus fluence optimization technique

Due to current and future anticipated widespread use of thin silicon wafers in the microelectronics industry, there is a large and growing interest in laser-based wafer dicing solutions. As the wafers become thinner, the laser advantage over saw dicing increases in terms of both the speed and yield of the process. Furthermore, managing the laser heat input during the dicing process becomes more...
