Silicon is widely used in a number of industries but primarily in solar cells and in semiconductor manufacture, with growing applications in jewelry and entertainment goods. In the majority of applications the source material is in the form of wafers which are typically 0.2-1.5mm (thick and 100-300mm diameter. From the flat faces of the octagons they laser cut a flat rectangular wafer that is then further processed to become a solar cell. Cutting speed and yield are important ...$28.00

Keming Du, EdgeWave GmbH; Wurselen Germany
Presented at ICALEO 2009
Structuring and patterning of thin layer via selective laser ablation is one of the key technologies in production of display and photovoltaic. Concurrently, there are two ablation processes used in production of thin film solar: Scribing via selective ablation and edge isolation via deletion. Beside the wave length, the pulse length and the peak power, the beam profile of the laser is of essential importance for the efficiency of the ablation process and for the productivity. The most currently...$28.00

Direct laser patterning of various materials has found its way into several micro-system production lines like inkjet printing, solar cell technology, flat-panel display production, semiconductors and medical treatment. Typically, TEM00 single-mode solid state lasers and their higher harmonics are used, especially for machining of holes and trenches....$28.00

Femtosecond laser pulses with pulse trains of different repetition rates are employed in micromachining of a polyurea aerogel material. By varying the pulse number in a pulse train and the repetition rate of the pulse train, we investigate their effects on the ablation surface morphology of the polyurea aerogels. The heat accumulating in the polymer material can be prevented...$28.00

Ultrashort pulse lasers combined with megahertz level repetition rates allow use of higher production speeds without that sequent pulses do not overlap. The experiments were conducted on stainless steel and brass samples with several different velocities up to about 30 m/s with 1 and 2 MHz repetition rates. The material removal rates were analyzed from the ...$28.00
