Here's Quick Way to Solve Precise Laser Micromachining

Laser micromachining is the utilization of lasers for cutting, drilling, welding, or for creating specific structural improvements to produce features on a single or double-digit micrometer scale. Femtosecond laser micromachining is beginning to discover a lot more attention than any other micromachining methods. Microprocessing is a growing market for laser sources, both by displacing non-laser processes and by opening up new applications.

The team of researchers from the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science at Michigan University has demonstrated this technology and the use of femtosecond laser for micromachining. Femtosecond laser micromachining produces precise cutting results. Micro texturization of the layer of an implant that has been studied to improve bone structure in dental implants is one of the femtosecond laser applications.

Femtosecond micromachining is a fast-moving domain for ultrafast laser applications. Laser machining can be performed in three different ways. Direct writing is done by focusing the laser beam on the substrate. Laserod Technologies specializes in laser micromachining. We deliver precise laser cutting, scribing, coring, flat or notch cutting, micro-drilling holes, singulation, and trimming of a range of substrates and MEMS tools.

Typically, laser machining of the substrate, such as silicon, includes the manufacture of MEMS devices, sensors, detectors, and solar cells. Silicon is brittle, has a crystalline composition and a high degree of vaporization, none of which is troublesome for laser machining.

The crystalline orientation, for example, is not a hindrance to the laser. Also, lasers can cut into circles and create flats or notches in one operation. Lasers cut holes of almost any dimension, so coring or resizing, and via hole drilling, is easily done using pure laser energy with no mechanical contact.

The experts at Laserod have been performing high-quality laser machining of silicon and other substrates for over 20 years. Our quality and turn-times are among the best presented at very competitive prices, and the laser systems we supply are reliable, dependable, and highly productive.
