Femtosecond Pulsed Lasers for Next-Generation Nanofabrication Methods
Development of deep ultraviolet (DUV) excimer laser lithography by IBM in 1982 was a critical milestone that led to the wide acceptance of excimer laser micromachining as it offered a reduced heat affected zone (HAZ), speed and versatility across a range of operations, including ablating, drilling, cutting and welding. The latest method that further advances laser material processing at the nanoscale level for mass production of electronic, biomedical and optical technologies is femtosecond pulsed laser micromachining.
