研究目的
Investigating the selective rear-side ablation of thin aluminum layers on fused silica with ultrashort-pulsed laser radiation to improve the structuring quality.
研究成果
The rear-side ablation of aluminum thin layers on fused silica with ultrashort-pulsed laser radiation was found to proceed over the melting phase without a lift-off process. The ablation thresholds and incubation coefficients were influenced by layer thickness and pulse duration. Theoretical calculations supported the experimental findings, indicating that the ablation was mainly based on the melt process. These insights can help improve the structuring quality of aluminum layers.
研究不足
The study focused on aluminum thin layers with specific thicknesses and did not explore other materials or thickness ranges. The influence of pulse duration on ablation thresholds was not consistent across all layer thicknesses, indicating potential limitations in the applicability of the findings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the use of ultrashort-pulsed laser radiation for the selective rear-side ablation of aluminum thin layers on fused silica. The laser parameters included wavelength (λ = 1028 nm), pulse duration (??H = 0.2–10 ps), and beam radius (w0,86 = 15.2 μm).
2:2–10 ps), and beam radius (w0,86 = 2 μm).
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Aluminum thin layers with thicknesses of 10, 20, 30, and 50 nm on fused silica substrates were used. The layers were deposited by sputtering.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The ultrashort pulse laser Pharos from Light Conversion Ltd. was used, along with a 167 mm f-theta objective for focusing the laser beam. An optical microscope and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used for post-irradiation analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser beam was focused through the transparent substrate at the interface between the metallic layer and the fused silica substrate. The samples were irradiated with increasing pulse energy, different pulse numbers, and pulse durations. The ablation craters were then analyzed for morphology and size.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The ablation diameters were measured to determine the ablation thresholds and incubation coefficients. Theoretical threshold fluences for melting and evaporation processes were calculated and compared with experimental data.
