Laser cleaning of a photoresist (PR) on a glass substrate using ns-pulsed Nd:YAG laser was studied. The direction of the substrate facing the laser beam was varied as a main parameter as well as the power of the laser beam. The backward irradiation (BWI) of the third harmonic beam (355 nm) completely removed 1.2 μm thick PR layer with three pulses at 1.5 J/cm2 leaving no residues behind; while the forward irradiation (FWI) at the same condition just partially cleaned it. To investigate the difference of removal mechanisms between irradiation directions, the size distributions of particulates generated during laser cleaning were observed using an optical particle counter. The concentration of micron-sized particulates increased with increasing laser fluence up to 1 J/cm2 for FWI and 0.5 J/cm2 for BWI and then decreased at higher fluences because the target was a very thin film. The concentration of larger particulates for BWI was much higher than that for FWI implying the difference in removal mechanisms. In consideration of the size characteristics of the particulates and the temperature profiles of the PR layer, the most probable distinct mechanism for the BWI would be a blasting due to high temperature at the PR/glass interface. The particulate number concentration decreased rapidly after the completion of cleaning, suggesting that the measurement of the particulate concentration could detect the progress of the cleaning. Our results demonstrated that the backward irradiation will be useful for the laser cleaning of film-type contaminants on an optically transparent substrate.  相似文献

The laser-induced backside dry etching (LIBDE) investigated in this study makes use of a thin metal film deposited at the backside of a transparent sample to achieve etching of the sample surface. For the time-resolved measurements at LIBDE fused silica samples coated with 125 nm tin were used and the reflected and the transmitted laser intensities were recorded with a temporal resolution of about 1 ns during the etching with a ∼30 ns KrF excimer laser pulse. The laser beam absorption as well as characteristic changes of the reflection of the target surface was calculated in dependence on the laser fluence in the range of 250-2500 mJ/cm2 and the pulse number from the temporal variations of the reflection and the transmission. The decrease of the time of a characteristic drop in the reflectivity, which can be explained by the ablation of the metal film, correlates with the developed thermal model. However, the very high absorption after the film ablation probably results in very high temperatures near the surface and presumably in the formation of an absorbing plasma. This plasma may contribute to the etching and the surface modification of the substrate. After the first pulse a remaining absorption of the sample was measured that can be discussed by the redeposition of portions of the ablated metal film or can come from the surface modification in the fused silica sample. These near-surface modifications permit laser etching with the second laser pulse, too.  相似文献

Creation of laser-induced morphology features, particularly laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS), by a 532 nm picosecond Nd:YAG laser on crystalline silicon is reported. The LIPSS, often termed ripples, were produced at average laser irradiation fluences of 0.7, 1.6, and 7.9 J cm−2. Two types of ripples were registered: micro-ripples (at micrometer scale) in the form of straight parallel lines extending over the entire irradiated spot, and nano-ripples (at nanometer scale), apparently concentric, registered only at the rim of the spot, with the periodicity dependent on laser fluence. There are indications that the parallel ripples are a consequence of the partial periodicity contained in the diffraction modulated laser beam, and the nano-ripples are very likely frozen capillary waves. The damage threshold fluence was estimated at 0.6 J cm−2.  相似文献

The results of patterning of the indium-tin oxide (ITO) film on the glass substrate with high repetition rate picosecond lasers at various wavelengths are presented. Laser radiation initiated the ablation of the material, forming grooves in ITO. Profile of the grooves was analyzed with a phase contrast optical microscope, a stylus type profiler, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Clean removal of the ITO film was achieved with the 266 nm radiation when laser fluence was above the threshold at 0.20 J/cm2, while for the 355 nm radiation, the threshold was higher, above 0.46 J/cm2. The glass substrate was damaged in the area where the fluence was higher than 1.55 J/cm2. The 532 nm radiation allowed getting well defined grooves, but a lot of residues in the form of dust were generated on the surface. UV radiation with the 266 nm wavelength provided the widest working window for ITO ablation without damage of the substrate. Use of UV laser radiation with fluences close to the ablation threshold made it possible to minimize surface contamination and the recast ridge formation during the process.  相似文献

We examine the nanosecond and femtosecond UV laser ablation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a function of molecular weight (Mw). For laser ablation with nanosecond laser pulses, at the excimer wavelengths 248 nm and 193 nm, we show that high temperatures develop; yet the dynamics of material ejection differs depending on polymer Mw. The results on the nanosecond ablation of polymers are accounted within the framework of bulk photothermal model and the results of molecular dynamics simulations. Turning next to the 248 nm ablation with 500 fs laser pulses, the ablation threshold and etching rates are also found to be dependent on polymer Mw. In addition, ablation results in morphological changes of the remaining substrate. Plausible mechanisms are advanced.  相似文献

Interaction of a nanosecond transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) CO2 laser, operating at 10.6 μm, with tungsten-titanium thin film (190 nm) deposited on silicon of n-type (1 0 0) orientation, was studied. Multi-pulse irradiation was performed in air atmosphere with laser energy densities in the range 24-49 J/cm2. The energy absorbed from the laser beam was mainly converted to thermal energy, which generated a series of effects. The following morphological changes were observed: (i) partial ablation/exfoliation of the WTi thin film, (ii) partial modification of the silicon substrate with formation of polygonal grains, (iii) appearance of hydrodynamic features including nano-globules. Torch-like plumes started appearing in front of the target after several laser pulses.  相似文献

Irradiation of Si(1 0 0), Si(1 1 1), Si(1 1 0), Ge(1 0 0), and Ge(1 1 1) is compared for 150 fs, 800 nm wavelength pulses in a rough vacuum atmosphere. The surface crystalline orientation of the material is found to affect the final morphology, with (1 1 1)- and (1 1 0)-surface orientations exhibiting a much higher tendency for conical structure formation under multiple-pulse irradiation. Using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, the structures on Si(1 1 1) are found to have primarily crystalline cores with the same crystalline orientation as the substrate. The results show that the crystalline orientation of the target should be considered in laser machining applications.  相似文献

Femtosecond laser micromilling of Si wafers   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Femtosecond laser micromilling of silicon is investigated using a regeneratively amplified 775 nm Ti:Sapphire laser with a pulse duration of 150 fs operating at 1 kHz repetition rate. The morphological observation and topological analysis of craters fabricated by single-shot laser irradiation indicated that the material removal is thermal in nature and there are two distinct ablation regimes of low fluence and higher fluence with logarithmical relations between the ablation depth and the laser fluence. Crater patterns were categorized into four characteristic groups and their formation mechanisms were investigated. Femtosecond laser micromilling of pockets in silicon was performed. The effect of process parameters such as pulse energy, translation speed, and the number of passes on the material removal rate and the formation of cone-shaped microstructures were investigated. The results indicate that the microstructuring mechanism has a strong dependence on the polarization, the number of passes and laser fluence. The optimal laser fluence range for Si micromilling was found to be 2-8 J/cm2 and the milling efficiency attains its maximum between 10 and 20 J/cm2.  相似文献

Femtosecond laser ablations (100 fs, 800 nm, 0.2 mJ/pulse) were performed to produce craters on CdS, ZnS:Cu and ZnSe wafers in water. On the surface of the crater walls, a variety of submicrostructural formations were presented, such as the ripples and network structures for CdS, the subwavelength ripples and columnar structures for ZnS:Cu, even the regular cubic-shaped submicron rods for ZnSe. Based on the field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) study of the different characteristic surface morphologies, the possible formation mechanisms were discussed correspondingly. For example, two distinct mechanisms are contributing to the different styles of ripples formed on CdS and ZnS:Cu. The former is the interference effects between the incoming laser beam and scattered surface wave, while the latter is the self-organization structure formation. In addition, the re-crystallization of the water-confined hot plasma would play an important role in the formation of ZnS:Cu column structures and ZnSe rods.  相似文献

Silicon carbide (SiC), as it is well-known, is inaccessible to usual methods of technological processing. Consequently, it is important to search for alternative technologies of processing SiC, including laser processing, and to study the accompanying physical processes. The work deals with the investigation of pulsed laser radiation influence on the surface of 6H-SiC crystal. The calculated temperature profile of SiC under laser irradiation is shown. Structural changes in surface and near-surface layers of SiC were studied by atomic force microscopy images, photoluminescence, Raman spectra and field emission current-voltage characteristics of initial and irradiated surfaces. It is shown that the cone-shaped nanostructures with typical dimension of 100-200 nm height and 5-10 nm width at the edge are formed on SiC surface under nitrogen laser exposure (λ = 0.337 μm, tp = 7 ns, Ep = 1.5 mJ). The average values of threshold energy density 〈Wthn〉 at which formation of nanostructures starts on the 0 0 0 1 and surfaces of n-type 6H-SiC(N), nitrogen concentration nN ≅ 2 × 1018 cm−3, are determined to be 3.5 J/cm2 and 3.0 J/cm2, respectively. The field emission appeared only after laser irradiation of the surface at threshold voltage of 1000 V at currents from 0.7 μA to 0.7 mA. The main role of the thermogradient effect in the processes of mass transfer in prior to ablation stages of nanostructure formation under UV laser irradiation (LI) was determined. We ascertained that the residual tensile stresses appear on SiC surface as a result of laser microablation. The nanostructures obtained could be applied in the field of sensor and emitting extreme electronic devices.  相似文献

Despite significant advances, laser ablation with nanosecond pulses presents limitations in dealing with the restoration of classes of painted works of art, such as paintings with a very thin layer of varnish. Femtosecond laser processing promises the means for overcoming such limitations. To this end, femtosecond ablation of two typical varnishes, dammar and mastic, is examined. For these varnishes, processing by Ti:Sapphire irradiation (800 nm) turns out to be ineffective. In contrast, irradiation with 248 nm ∼500 fs laser pulses results in a higher etching resolution (etching rates of ∼1 μm/pulse or less). For irradiation with few laser pulses at moderate laser fluences, etched morphology is far smoother than in the processing with nanosecond laser pulses. Furthermore, chemical modifications are considerably reduced (by nearly an order of magnitude), and exhibit a number of additional novel differences. Both etching rates and extent of chemical modifications are largely independent of varnish absorptivity. In all, femtosecond UV laser irradiation is indicated to hold a high potential, offering new perspectives for the restoration of painted works of art. Finally, a tentative model is advanced accounting in a consistent way for the observations.  相似文献

The laser-induced backside wet etching (LIBWE) is an advanced laser processing method used for structuring transparent materials. LIBWE with nanosecond laser pulses has been successfully demonstrated for various materials, e.g. oxides (fused silica, sapphire) or fluorides (CaF2, MgF2), and applied for the fabrication of microstructures. In the present study, LIBWE of fused silica with mode-locked picosecond (tp = 10 ps) lasers at UV wavelengths (λ1 = 355 nm and λ2 = 266 nm) using a (pyrene) toluene solution was demonstrated for the first time. The influence of the experimental parameters, such as laser fluence, pulse number, and absorbing liquid, on the etch rate and the resulting surface morphology were investigated. The etch rate grew linearly with the laser fluence in the low and in the high fluence range with different slopes. Incubation at low pulse numbers as well as a nearly constant etch rate after a specific pulse number for example were observed. Additionally, the etch rate depended on the absorbing liquid used; whereas the higher absorption of the admixture of pyrene in the used toluene enhances the etch rate and decreases the threshold fluence. With a λ1 = 266 nm laser set-up, an exceptionally smooth surface in the etch pits was achieved. For both wavelengths (λ1 = 266 nm and λ2 = 355 nm), LIPSS (laser-induced periodic surface structures) formation was observed, especially at laser fluences near the thresholds of 170 and 120 mJ/cm2, respectively.  相似文献

Using sintered TiN and TiN-Ir (Ir contents: 5.9-14.2 at.%) targets, pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) was carried out to produce thin films composed of nanoparticles and particulates in the presence of nitrogen gas. The size (2-100 nm) of the produced crystalline TiN nanoparticles increased as nitrogen pressure was increased in the range from 1.33 to 1.33 × 102 Pa. At a pressure of 1.33 × 103 Pa, amorphous TiN nanoparticles combined in the form of chains. Large Ir particulates with diameters of up to 2 μm were particularly prominent in TiN-Ir films. Size distributions of the Ir particulates were dependent on ablation laser wavelength; that is, the diameter decreased at laser wavelength shortened. The TiN-Ir films with different Ir contents and morphologies on Ti substrates were evaluated as electrolysis electrodes for water disinfection. The highest current efficiency was 0.45%, which is comparable to that of conventional Ti-Pt electrodes, for a chloride-ion concentration of 9 mg dm−3.  相似文献

A laser pulse-induced microbump method that aims to measure the elongation rate of nanofilms is proposed. The sample structure is designed as “substrate/active layer/nanofilm” and the laser pulse is used as energy source to heat the active layer and to create microbump. These cause the nanofilm to expand and elongate. The surface area and length change of nanofilm is calculated by measuring the deflections and diameters of the microbumps, as well as to obtain the elongation rate of the nanofilms. A series of microbumps with different deflections are obtained. The deflections are measured precisely by atomic force microscopy (AFM) by taking AgOx and ZnS-SiO2 as the active layer and nanofilm, respectively, and by controlling pulse laser parameters. The line elongation rate and plane elongation rate of ZnS-SiO2 nanofilm are measured at thickness of only 10 nm. Results show that both the two elongation rates linearly increases with laser power from 3.2 to 5.2 mW. Plane elongation rate is a little higher than the line elongation rate at the same laser power. The rupture at 5.4 mW laser power corresponds to fracture strength of the film. The maximum line elongation rate and plane elongation rate are 13.241% and 19.766%, respectively. This method applies a reproducible and efficient method for its applications in the near future.  相似文献

Selective laser patterning of thin films in a multilayered structure is an emerging technology for process development and fabrication of optoelectronics and microelectronics devices. In this work, femtosecond laser patterning of electrochromic Ta0.1W0.9Ox film coated on ITO glass has been studied to understand the selective removal mechanism and to determine the optimal parameters for patterning process. A 775 nm Ti:sapphire laser with a pulse duration of 150 fs operating at 1 kHz was used to irradiate the thin film stacks with variations in process parameters such as laser fluence, feedrate and numerical aperture of objective lens. The surface morphologies of the laser irradiated regions have been examined using a scanning electron microscopy and an optical surface profiler. Morphological analysis indicates that the mechanism responsible for the removal of Ta0.1W0.9Ox thin films from the ITO glass is a combination of blistering and explosive fracture induced by abrupt thermal expansion. Although the pattern quality is divided into partial removal, complete removal, and ITO film damage, the ITO film surface is slightly melted even at the complete removal condition. Optimal process window, which results in complete removal of Ta0.1W0.9Ox thin film without ablation damage in the ITO layer, have been established. From this study, it is found that focusing lens with longer focal length is preferable for damage-free pattern generation and shorter machining time.  相似文献

The thermal damage process of gallium arsenide (GaAs) induced by 532 nm continuous laser is presented in this work. The surface damage in the form of decomposing was detected and determined previous to the melting damage by the real-time observation of surface reflectivity. The evaporation of As induced the decrease of As content in the irradiated surface. The microscopic morphology and composition analysis of the damaged surfaces at different moments during the whole thermal process were performed with an electron probe microscope.  相似文献

This paper reports tribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films nanostructured by femtosecond (fs) laser ablation. The nanostructure was formed in an area of more than 15 mm × 15 mm on the DLC surface, using a precise target-scan system developed for the fs-laser processing. The frictional properties of the DLC film are greatly improved by coating a MoS2 layer on the nanostructured surface, while the friction coefficient can be increased by surface texturing of the nanostructured zone in a net-like patterning. The results demonstrate that the tribological properties of a DLC surface can be controlled using fs-laser-induced nanostructuring.  相似文献

TiO2 film of around 850 nm in thickness was deposited on a soda-lime glass by PVD sputtering and irradiated using one pulse of krypton-fluorine (KrF) excimer laser (wavelength of 248 nm and pulse duration of 25 ns) with varying fluence. The color of the irradiated area became darker with increasing laser fluence. Irradiated surfaces were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Surface undergoes thermal annealing at low laser fluence of 400 and 590 mJ/cm2. Microcracks at medium laser fluence of 1000 mJ/cm2 are attributed to surface melting and solidification. Hydrodynamic ablation is proposed to explain the formation of micropores and networks at higher laser fluence of 1100 and 1200 mJ/cm2. The darkening effect is explained in terms of trapping of light in the surface defects formed rather than anatase to rutile phase transformation as reported by others. Controlled darkening of TiO2 film might be used for adjustable filters.  相似文献

Thermal boat evaporation was employed to prepare MgF2 single-layer coatings upon both JGS1 and UBK7 substrates at different substrate temperatures. Microstructure, transmittance and residual stress of these coatings were measured by X-ray diffraction, spectrophotometer, and optical interferometer, respectively. Measurement of laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the samples was performed at 355 nm, 8 ns pulses. The results showed that high substrate temperature was beneficial to crystallization of the film. Above 244 °C, the refractive index increased gradually with the substrate temperature rising. Whereas, it was exceptional at 210 °C that the refractive index was higher than those deposited at 244 and 277 °C. The tensile residual stresses were exhibited in all MgF2 films, but not well correlated with the substrate temperature. In addition, the stresses were comparatively smaller upon JGS1 substrates. A tendency could be seen that the LIDTs reached the highest values at about 244 °C, and the films upon JGS1 had higher LIDTs than those upon UBK7 substrates at the same temperature. Meanwhile, the damage morphologies showed that the laser damage of the coating resulted from an absorbing center at the film-substrate interface. The features of the damages were displayed by an absorbing center dominated model. Furthermore, the reason of the difference in LIDT values was discussed in detail.  相似文献
