AbstractExcimer lasers sources of 193nm and 157 nm wavelength were used to obtain new photoablation etching rates for several materials of interest to the microelectronics industry. The harder 157nm radiation provided lower ablation rates and smaller threshold fluences for Polyimide and Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) than with 193nm. For normally robust materials like quartz and Teflon (PTFE), the 157nm laser produced clean and smooth ablation sites with low threshold fluences of 620mJ/cm2 and 68mJ/cm2, respectively, features impossible to obtain with conventional excimer lasers at longer wavelengths. The data should help define new micromachining applications of these two materials for the electronic, optical or medical industry. Results are also reported for GaAs and InP based materials which are found to undergo moderate etch rates of 30-80nm/pulse at fluences of ∼3J/cm2, but suffer thermal damage and material segregation due to surface melting.

Modification Of The Surface

ABSTRACTAblation and etching of the surface of polymethyl methacrylate (=PMMA) by pulses of 248 nm laser radiation ∼20 ns full width at half maximum (FWHM) have been probed by pulses of visible laser radiation (596 nm; < 1 ns FWHM). The results were recorded photographically in real time with a set time delay between the 248 nm ablation pulse and the 596 nm probe pulse. Modification of the surface structure of the polymer at a fluence ∼ 3 J/cm2 is first visible at 12 ns and appears to be complete in ∼ 60 ns. The first manifestation of the ablation does not occur until the UV pulse is over and consists of a nearly transparent shock-wave that has an initial velocity of 6 ∼ 104 cm/sec. Solid material from the ablated zone begins to leave the surface at ∼150 - 200 ns and reaches a maximum in intensity at 6 µs, continuing for ∼ 20 µs. The average velocity of the solid material, which is probably a low molecular weight polymer of PMMA, is 1.5 ∼ 104 cm/sec. The conclusion to be drawn from the present work is that the signal measured by photoacoustic detectors does not coincide with the bulk of the material leaving the surface.

Similarities And Differences

The paper presents a comparative analysis of the dynamic loading of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) target by a polyethylene (PE) projectile exposed to laser radiation with similar initial energy characteristics of the projectile and the laser pulse. The similarities and differences in the mechanisms of the target's response and its destruction to high-speed mechanical and laser action are shown. A higher efficiency of laser irradiation in the destruction of PMMA was found, and the conditions for the transition of the fracture mechanism from brittle to elastic-plastic were shown.

Temperature Range

The effect of laser radiation on the dielectric parameters of polymethyl methacrylate at a frequency of 50 kHz in the 170–420 K temperature range was investigated. It was shown that the laser pulse treatment of specimens leads to considerable changes in their dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss tangent.
