The Application of Laser Technology to Interconnect Processes

摘要

Lasers of various types are in use for wire stripping and wire marking. Wire stripping technology includes stripping with CO_2 lasers, scribing of coax shields with YAG lasers and special fiber optic applications using Excimer lasers. Plasma systems are in use for wires used in medical applications. New wire marking technology uses Excimer and solid-state harmonic systems for indelible and non-damaging alphanumeric and bar code marking of a range of wire types. An explanation of the processes and the laser application solutions is presented.
