Direct machining of curved trenches in silicon with femtosecond accelerating beams

چکیده
Control of the longitudinal profile of ablated structures during laser processing is a key technological requirement. We report here on the direct machining of trenches in silicon with circular profiles using femtosecond accelerating beams. We describe the ablation process based on an intensity threshold model, and show how the depth of the trenches can be predicted in the framework of a caustic description of the beam.

Micromachining along a curve: Femtosecond laser micromachining of curved profiles in diamond and silicon using accelerating beams
We report femtosecond laser micromachining of micron-size curved structures using tailored accelerating beams. We report surface curvatures as small as 70 μm in both diamond and silicon, which demonstrates the wide applicability of the technique to materials that are optically transparent or opaque at the pump laser wavelength. We also report the machining of curved trenches in silicon. Our res...
متن کاملMicro actuated grating for multi-beam optical pickups.
A stress-induced curved polysilicon actuator with a grating is achieved for the application of recordable optical pickups, which have been realized on a single silicon chip using a two-layer poly-silicon and one-layer silicon nitride micro-machining process. Three diffracted beams with equal intensity in each order from the grating were generated while applying a voltage to the actuator. The sw...

Direct writing of multi-depth microchannel branching networks into a silicon wafer with femtosecond pulses at 200 kHz is reported. The silicon wafer with the microchannels is used as the mold for rapid prototyping of microchannels on polydimethylsiloxane. The branching network is designed to serve as a gas exchanger for use in artificial lungs and bifurcates according to Murray’s law. In the de...

Abstract: In this paper, a DRIE process for fabricating MEMS silicon trenches with a depth of more than 250 m is described. The DRIE was produced in oxygen-added sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) plasma, with sample cooling to cryogenic temperature using a Plasmalab System 100 ICP 180 at different RF powers. A series of experiments were performed to determine the etch rate and selectivity of the some m...
متن کاملMixed finite element formulation enriched by Adomian method for vibration analysis of horizontally curved beams
Abstract: The vibration analysis of horizontally curved beams is generally led to higher order shape functions using direct finite element method, resulting in more time-consuming computation process. In this paper, the weak-form mixed finite element method was used to reduce the order of shape functions. The shape functions were first considered linear which did not provide adequate accuracy....
