TLDR
In this paper, a burst of ultrashort laser pulses is employed to sever a conductive link in a nonthermal manner and offers a wider processing window, eliminates undesirable HAZ effects, and achieves superior severed link quality.Abstract:
A burst of ultrashort laser pulses is employed to sever a conductive link (22) in a nonthermal manner and offers a wider processing window, eliminates undesirable HAZ effects, and achieves superior severed link quality. The duration of the burst is preferably in the range of 10 ns to 500 ns; and the pulse width of each laser pulse within the burst is generally shorter than 25 ps, preferablyshorter than or equal to 10 ps, and most preferably about 10 ps to 100 fs or shorter. The burst can be treated as a single 'pulse' by conventional laser positioning systems (62) to perform on-the-fly link removal without stopping whenever the laser system (60) fires a burst of laser pulses at each link (22). Conventional wavelengths or their harmonics can be employed.read more
