PROCESSING APPARATUS USING LASER, METHOD OF LASER LIFT-OFF AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240096682 titled 'PROCESSING APPARATUS USING LASER, METHOD OF LASER LIFT-OFF AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The processing apparatus using laser described in the abstract is designed to hold a substrate and rotate it while a laser irradiation apparatus moves in a radial direction to irradiate the substrate with an infrared pulsed laser. The control unit of the laser irradiation apparatus ensures that the distance between adjacent laser spots satisfies specific criteria in both the rotation direction and radial direction.

  • Laser processing apparatus with rotating stage and radial laser irradiation
  • Control unit regulates output of infrared pulsed laser for precise spot distances
  • Criteria of spot distances in rotation and radial directions must be met

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, microelectronics, and materials processing for precise laser ablation, cutting, and drilling.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures accurate and consistent laser processing on substrates 2. Enables high precision and efficiency in material removal processes

Benefits

1. Improved quality and uniformity of laser processing 2. Increased productivity and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing processes

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Laser Processing for Substrate Manufacturing

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include laser processing systems with fixed laser beams and manual adjustment of spot distances, lacking the automated control of spot distances in both rotation and radial directions.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control unit precisely adjust the output of the infrared pulsed laser?

The specific mechanism or algorithm used by the control unit to regulate the laser output for spot distance control is not detailed in the abstract.

What types of substrates or materials are most suitable for this laser processing apparatus?

The abstract does not specify the compatibility of this technology with different types of substrates or materials, leaving room for further exploration and research in this area.


Original Abstract Submitted
