摘要: Numerous embodiments of a laser-processing apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, the laser-processing apparatus includes a laser source operative to generate a beam of laser energy, an acousto-optic deflector (AOD) arranged within a beam path, a controller coupled to the AOD, and a beam analysis system operative to measure characteristics of the beam, generate measurement data representative of the measured beam characteristics, and transmit the measurement data to a controller operative to control the operation of the AOD based on that measurement data. In another embodiment, the laser-processing apparatus includes a system for characterization of cross-axis wobble of a galvanometer mirror, comprising a reference laser source configured to emit a reference laser beam, a reflective surface formed on the galvanometer mirror and configured to reflect the reference laser beam to a sensor configured to output a signal representative of the position of the reference beam to a controller.

摘要: A method for forming a through-via in a substrate having opposing first and second surfaces can include directing a focused beam of laser pulses into the substrate through the first surface of the substrate and, subsequently, through the second surface of the substrate. The focused beam of laser pulses can have a wavelength to which the substrate is at least substantially transparent and a beam waist of the focused beam of laser pulses is closer to the second surface than to the first surface. The focused beam of laser pulses is characterized by a pulse repetition rate, a peak optical intensity at the substrate and an average power at the substrate sufficient to: melt a region of the substrate near the second surface, thereby creating a melt zone within the substrate; propagate the melt zone toward the first surface; and vaporize or boil material of the substrate and located within the melt zone.

摘要: Numerous embodiments of optical relay systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a laser-processing apparatus includes an optical relay system configured to correct for beam placement errors by maintaining the optical path length of a beam of laser energy between a first positioner and a scan lens. In another embodiment, the optical relay system may include a first lens, a second lens, and a zoom lens assembly arranged between the first lens and the second lens, wherein the zoom lens assembly includes a first lens group and a second lens group. The zoom lens assembly may be movable relative to the first lens and the second lens (e.g., mounted on a positioner, such as a motion stage). The distance between the lenses of the first lens group and the distance between the lenses of the second lens group may be fixed or variable.

摘要: Numerous embodiments are disclosed. Many of which relate to methods of forming vias in workpieces such as printed circuit boards. Some embodiments relates techniques for indirectly ablating a region of an electrical conductor structure of, for example, a printed circuit board by spatially distributing laser energy throughout the region before the electrical conductor is indirectly ablated. Other embodiments relate to techniques for temporally-dividing laser pulses, modulating the optical power within laser pulses, and the like.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for extending the lifetime of optical components are disclosed. A beam of laser energy directed along a beam path that intersects a scan lens, through which it can be transmitted. The beam path can be deflected within a scan region of the scan lens to process a workpiece with the laser energy transmitted by the scan lens. The scan region can be shifted to a different location within the scan lens, e.g., to delay or avoid accumulation of laser-induced damage within the scan lens, while processing a workpiece.
