For the past few years various photothermal methods such as Laser-induced Hyperthermia [1] and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy [2] has been developed for tumor ablation. In all of these existing techniques, either continuous wave (CW) or long pulse laser sources have been used, which often produces heat affected zones that are larger than the boundaries of the tumor, which leads to collateral damage of surrounding healthy tissue. Moreover for these applications, either collimated or diffused laser beams are used, resulting in much of the energy being absorbed by tissues at the skin surface and very little remaining energy penetrating the skin. Such drawbacks can be eliminated if a beam from a short pulse laser source is focused directly at the targeted subsurface location. Tight focusing ensures that sufficient intensity to drive nonlinear optical absorption can be achieved with low pulse energy. This technique has been effectively used in applications such as non-ablative dermal remodeling [3] and treatment of striated muscles [4]. However, the use of focused beam from an ultra-short pulse laser source has never been applied to tumor ablation and is investigated in this paper.

Abstract The journey to the circuit layer will be described by first discussing baseline processes of laser assisted chemical etching (LACE) steps before the focused ion beam (FIB) workflow. These LACE processes take advantage of a dual 532 nm continuous wave (CW) and pulse laser system, however limitations and overhead that is transferred over to the FIB operator will be demonstrated. Experiments show an additional third 355 nm ultraviolet (UV) pulse laser process introduction into the workflow can further reduce the remaining silicon thickness (RST) relieving FIB overhead. In addition, complex pulse laser patterning techniques will show a refinement to nonuniform produced silicon. Finally, other pulse laser patterning techniques such as polygon etch capability will allow laser etching around and in-between features to enhance circuit layer accessibility for debug operations.

Over last two decades lasers have been used for the treatment of subsurface tumors. Various techniques such as Laser-induced Hyperthermia, Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), and Laser Immunotherapy have been developed for the successful ablation of subsurface tumors by different researchers. All these techniques use photo-thermal mechanism for tumor ablation by delivering thermal energy at the tumor site. In all these existing techniques, either continuous wave (CW) or long pulse laser source has been used, which often produces larger heat affected zone as compared to that produced by short pulse laser. Moreover, the delivery of laser beam at the target site is achieved through fiber optic probes which often require perforation of the skin. These drawbacks can be eliminated if a converging laser beam from a short pulse laser source is directly focused at the subsurface location to ablate the tumor.
