The laser-induced damage threshold of optics is an issue of essential importance in high-power laser applications. However, the complex and partially interacting mechanisms as well as the underlying reasons for laser damage of glass surfaces are not yet fully understood. The aim of the present work is to contribute to a better understanding of such damage mechanisms by providing original results on the impact of classical glass surface machining on the laser-induced damage threshold. For this purpose, glass samples were prepared with well-defined process conditions in terms of the used lapping and polishing agents and suspensions. Further, the samples were post-processed by atmospheric pressure plasma for precision cleaning. The laser-induced damage threshold and surface contamination by residues from the manufacturing process were determined before and after plasma post-processing. It is shown that the polishing suspension concentration has a certain impact on the laser-induced damage threshold and surface contamination by residues from used working materials. The highest damage threshold of 15.2 J/cm² is found for the lowest surface contamination by carbon which occurs in the case of the highest polishing suspension concentration. After plasma treatment for merely 60 s, this value was increased to 20.3 J/cm² due to the removal of surface-adherent carbon. The results thus imply that the laser-induced damage threshold can notably be increased by first choosing appropriate process parameters during classical manufacturing and second plasma post-processing for surface finishing.

Abstract A failure analysis flow is developed for surface contamination, corrosion and underetch on microchip Al bondpads and it is applied in wafer fabrication. SEM, EDX, Auger, FTIR, XPS and TOF-SIMS are used to identify the root causes. The results from carbon related contamination, galvanic corrosion, fluorine-induced corrosion, passivation underetch and Auger bondpad monitoring will be presented. The failure analysis flow will definitely help us to select suitable methods and tools for failure analysis of Al bondpad-related issues, identify rapidly possible root causes of the failures and find the eliminating solutions at both wafer fabrication and assembly houses.
