研究成果

Complete characterization of the laser micromachining processes for six (6) commonly used microfabrication materials was developed in this work using a multimodal laser micromachining tool. Characterization of the QuikLaze 50ST2 multimodal laser for the laser micromachining of six (6) different materials demonstrated that the ablation depths that were experimentally obtained fit relatively well with a simple thermodynamic theory for most of the materials. While more complex theories or analysis could improve the discrepancy, this technique is accurate enough to allow one to readily calculate possible ablation depths of a new material using such a laser micromachining tool. Additionally, two applications of multimodal laser micromachining were demonstrated: shadow mask fabrication and patterning of organic and inorganic materials in the sub-5 μm range and IDE fabrication in the sub-10 μm range. The ability of such a technique to allow for rapid prototyping of shadow masks and devices, combined with the compact, benchtop-friendly design gives multimodal laser micromachining tremendous promise as an efficient fabrication method in academic and industrial research settings.
