Abstract
UV lasers are well-established sources for a wide variety of micro-machining applications. The small wavelength makes them ideal for processing of small features or to modify thin surfaces. Especially short pulse UV lasers are ideal for ablation of various materials, e. g., polyimide, parylene, PMMA, copper, gold and diamond. Furthermore these lasers are used for silicon annealing and patterning of fine circuitries to various substrates. The demand for smaller feature sizes of micro-mechanical and micro-electronic devices set new requirements in regard to resolution, throughput and overall cost efficiency of the process. In this paper, high-power excimer laser micro-machining and annealing relevant applications will be presented and discussed.
