The use of lasers to pattern a variety of substrates is gaining increasing popularity in a wide variety of sectors. Applications where the removal or patterning of a thin layer, or where the selective removal of multiple layers is key, lend themselves to this form of processing which has advantages over many traditional techniques.
Laser patterning or thin film patterning can not only produce many intricate shapes, but selective ablation allows the removal of layers with thicknesses of less than 100 nanometres.
Particular interest is found in a number of applications from flexible electronics through to applications in the energy and medical sectors.
Dependent on the task at hand, Oxford Lasers have a wide variety of lasers available for laser patterning ranging from ultrafast picosecond and femtosecond lasers through to nanosecond and longer pulsed lasers. Dependent on the application, material and thickness of the layer(s) to be removed, different lasers are used to ensure fast high quality patterning.
Oxford Lasers have been laser patterning a wide variety of materials for many years.
