Application Newsletter - Edge Isolation, Line Deletion, and Scribing on Glass

Moly top sheets of glass were processed using Advanced Solar Photonics' FL600 equipped with a short-pulse fiber laser with a 420mm focal length lens. The edge isolation was simulated, marking a 5mm line deletion as close to the edge as currently available with the current hardware setup in the lab. Also, along with the edge isolation 10 lines were scribed with approximately 50 micron line width. The glass was processed in 1190.20 seconds at a speed of 20 inches per second for the edge isolation and 60 inches per second for line deletion. Frequency: 20 kHz (edge isolation) 80 kHz (line deletion)

FL600 is capable of performing edge isolation, deletion and patterning on indium tin oxide (ITO), TCO, TO, anti-reflective coatings on glass and PET plastic film needed in the silicon and thin-film industries. This system makes the process environmentally safe as no special chemicals are required. This reduces the number of processing steps compared to conventional technology and it also minimizes overall production time and cost per unit.
