Press Release Summary:
UV Laser thin film patterning is accomplished with masks, using direct-write methods or direct-writing with galvanometer scanning. With thin films from 0.2-0.5 microns, process delaminates selected area of any metal, polymer, or dielectric thin film from any metal, dielectric, or polymer substrate. Excimer laser patterning systems process Indium tin oxide thin film on PET and remove thin films of metal in patterns on various substrates in one pulse without substrate damage.

JPSA Announces UV Laser Thin Film Patterning Services
Hollis, New Hampshire, USA - J P Sercel Associates (JPSA) announces the availability of complex thin film patterning with sub-micron resolution in its laser job shop facility. JPSA excimer laser patterning systems excel in precise and clean processing of Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film on PET, and removing thin films of metal (such as Au) in patterns on a variety of substrates including glass, hard ceramic, polymer and porous polymer in a single pulse without damage to the substrate. High fidelity complex patterns can be quickly processed over large areas.
In making the announcement, Jeffrey P. Sercel, President, said, "With thin films of 0.2 to 0.5 microns, this process, under the right conditions, will delaminate a selected high resolution area of virtually any metal, polymer, or dielectric thin film from any metal, dielectric, or polymer substrate using only a fraction of the laser energy that would be required to photo-ablate the equivalent volume of material. This is a high-efficiency laser process with many advantages including speed, energy savings, and higher throughput."
Thin film patterning is accomplished with masks, using direct-write methods or direct-writing with galvanometer scanning. The precise energy density and UV wavelength required for the process is dependent on the film material and thickness, the substrate, and the adhesion method between film and substrate.
JPSA products and services include UV excimer and DPSS laser micro machining systems, UV and VUV laser beam delivery systems, UV laser materials processing development, optical damage testing, and excimer laser refurbishment services. JPSA Laser operates a high-performance UV laser job shop as well as a systems engineering and manufacturing business.
