Laser Ablation Definition

Laser ablation is the process of removing material from a solid surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates. At high laser flux, the material is typically converted to a plasma. Usually, laser ablation refers to removing material with a pulsed laser

  • Finding optimal laser process parameters

(pulse duration, wavelength, fluence, drilling strategy)

  • Copper oxide around the hole walls

(post process cleaning could be required) Advantages Flexible technology: complete control of the hole morphology (taper, diameter) and geometry (density of the holes mm-2, distribution)

Summary

Vincenzo Berardi - 14 April 2011 CERN – 7° RD51 Collaboration Meeting

 Cu meshes can be drilled to obtain 12-14 micron diameter holes with a pitch of 20-25 microns (focusing spot down to < 10 μm)  Only percussion drilling can be reliably used and Oxide formation can be limited but not avoided by flowing inert gas on the surface.  Contamination can be reduced by changing the geometry as follows
