SiC wafers, due to their hardness and brittleness, suffer from a low feed rate and a high failure rate during the dicing process. In this study, a novel dual laser beam asynchronous dicing method (DBAD) is proposed to improve the cutting quality of SiC wafers, where a pulsed laser is firstly used to introduce several layers of micro-cracks inside the wafer, along the designed dicing line, then a continuous wave (CW) laser is used to generate thermal stress around cracks, and, finally, the wafer is separated. A finite-element (FE) model was applied to analyze the behavior of CW laser heating and the evolution of the thermal stress field. Through experiments, SiC samples, with a thickness of 200 μm, were cut and analyzed, and the effect of the changing of continuous laser power on the DBAD system was also studied. According to the simulation and experiment results, the effectiveness of the DBAD method is certified. There is no more edge breakage because of the absence of the mechanical breaking process compared with traditional stealth dicing. The novel method can be adapted to the cutting of hard-brittle materials. Specifically for materials thinner than 200 μm, the breaking process in the traditional SiC dicing process can be omitted. It is indicated that the dual laser beam asynchronous dicing method has a great engineering potential for future SiC wafer dicing applications.

The formation of a groove by partial evaporation of a moving semi-infinite and semitransparent solid is considered. Evaporative removal of material is achieved by focusing a high-power, highly concentrated Gaussian laser beam of continuous wave (CW) onto the surface of the solid. Surface heat losses due to radiation and convection are assumed to be negligible, and conductive losses are treated in an approximate fashion using a simple integral method. The relevant nonlinear partial differential equations are solved numerically, and results for groove depth and shape are presented for a variety of laser and solid parameters.

A novel processing technique to form shallow p-n junctions using a continuous-wave (cw) laser beam scanned over a large area is described. The results of computer simulation of the heat-flow problem were used to find the optimum condition for cw laser-induced liquid-phase diffusion. High-speed scanning of the laser beam and the application of phosphosilica glass as a diffusion source, which also acts as an antireflective coat, are essential parts of the process. The optimum incident laser power was around 7.5 W with a scanning speed of 100 cm/s. This process produced junction depths of around 0.2–0.4 μm. Reliable contacts to the shallow diffusions were made using tungsten silicide formed prior to the aluminum deposition. The p-n junctions formed by this technique showed good diode characteristics with breakdown voltages over 35 V and leakage current around 10−5 A/cm2.

Abstract A Laser Timing Probe (LTP) system which uses a noninvasive 1.3 µm continuous wave (CW) laser with frequency mapping and single point measurement capabilities is described. The frequency mapping modes facilitate the localization of signal maxima for subsequent single point measurements. Measurements of waveforms with long delays and 50 ps response time from NMOS and PMOS transistors are also shown.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is widely used in commercial and industrial fields to process various materials including polymers, most of which have high absorptivity in infrared spectrum. Thin-film processing by the continuous wave (CW) laser is difficult since polymers are deformed and damaged by the residual heat. We developed the new method to make polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) sheets thin. The sheets are pressed to a Cu base by extracting air between the sheets and the base during laser processing. It realizes to cut the sheets to around 50 µm thick with less heat effects on the backside which are inevitable for thermal processing using the CW laser. It is considered that the boundary between the sheets and the base is in thermal equilibrium and the base prevents the sheets from deforming to support the backside. The method is applicable to practical use since it does not need any complex controls and is easy to install to an existing equipment with a minor change of the stage.

The present work studies the optical nonlinearity exhibited by the material (for Continuous Wave (CW) laser or long pulse) due to the change in thermal properties of the material on illumination. Thermal lens (TL) technique has been used to measure the refractive index change due to the formation of TL along with other thermo-optic properties of the material in solution. A CW Ar-ion laser has been used as light source and the laser beam was chopped at 25[Formula: see text]Hz frequency to obtain 12[Formula: see text]ms pulse to observe the formation of the TL within the sample. The [Formula: see text] value have been calculated by the TL technique for Benzene, Toluene and Dimethylaniline (DMA) in toluene and Benzene. The [Formula: see text] value is found to be in the order of 10[Formula: see text] to 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm2[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text].
