Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Anlagen zur präzisen Hochgeschwindigkeitsbearbeitung von biegsamen, dünnen Substraten mit Hochleistungsultrakurzpulslasern und Verfahren unter Verwendung dieser Anlagen.The present invention relates to high speed, high speed machining of flexible, thin substrates with high power ultrafast pulsed lasers and methods using these devices.
Die Materialbearbeitung mit Ultrakurzpulslasern ist in der Regel für keine bzw. sehr geringe thermische Beeinflussung bekannt. Mit Ultrakurzpulslasern ist es möglich, jede Art von Materialien unabhängig von Härte und Verdampfungstemperatur mittels Ablation zu bearbeiten. Diese Eigenschaft ermöglicht die Herstellung von hoch präzisen Komponenten mit gut angepassten Materialeigenschaften, die mit herkömmlichen Methoden wie Erodieren und Fräsen nicht herstellbar sind. Allerdings setzt eine effektive und produktive Verwendung von Ultrakurzpulslasern in der Herstellung von High-End-Produkten folgendes voraus:
- – Kurze bzw. ultrakurze Pulsdauer
- – Pulsenergie um einige 10 μJ
- – Hohe Pulswiederholrate
- – Hohe mittlere Leistung
- – Schnelle relative Bewegung zwischen Laserspot und Werkstück, so dass keine bzw. geringe Strahlüberlappung vorliegt
- – Schnelle Modulation der Laserpulsenergie
- - Short or ultra-short pulse duration
- - Pulse energy by a few 10 μJ
- - High pulse repetition rate
- - High average power
- Fast relative movement between the laser spot and the workpiece so that there is no or little beam overlap
- - Fast modulation of the laser pulse energy
Durch die Entwicklung von effizienten Verstärkern wie INNOSLAB-Verstärker sind heute kurze und ultrakurze Pulslaser mit einer mittleren Leistung von über 400 W kommerziell verfügbar. Die Pulswiederholrate geht in den Bereich von mehreren 10 MHz. Die Pulsdauer beträgt einige 100 fs bis in den Nanosekundenbereich. Damit sind die Voraussetzungen für eine produktive und wirtschaftliche Anwendung von kurzen und ultrakurzen Pulslasern geben. Der Flaschenhals besteht in der Vorrichtung, mit der eine so schnelle relative Bewegung zwischen Laserspot und Werkstück realisiert werden kann, dass die Laserspots von jedem Laserpuls im Ganzen bzw. im Wesentlichen voneinander getrennt werden.Through the development of efficient amplifiers such as INNOSLAB amplifiers, short and ultra-short pulsed lasers with an average power of more than 400 W are commercially available today. The pulse repetition rate is in the range of several 10 MHz. The pulse duration is a few 100 fs down to the nanosecond range. This provides the prerequisites for a productive and economical use of short and ultrashort pulse lasers. The bottleneck consists in the device with which such rapid relative movement between laser spot and workpiece can be realized that the laser spots of each laser pulse are separated in whole or substantially.
Heutzutage werden Scanner für die relative Bewegung verwendet. Ein schneller Scanner lenkt einen Laserstrahl typischerweise 4 m/sec ab. Für den Fall, dass der Laserstrahl eine Spotgröße von 20 μm hat, ist die maximal verwendbare Pulswiederholrate auf 400 kHz limitiert, wenn eine 50%-Überlappung zulässig ist. Wenn die Pulsenergie um 40 μJ beträgt, so ist die maximal nutzbare mittlere Leistung auf 16 W limitiert. Das bedeutet, dass die Leistung eines 400 W Lasers für die Produktion nicht annährend benutzt werden kann.Today, scanners are used for relative movement. A fast scanner deflects a laser beam typically 4 m / sec. In the event that the laser beam has a spot size of 20 microns, the maximum usable pulse repetition rate is limited to 400 kHz, if a 50% overlap is allowed. When the pulse energy is around 40 μJ, the maximum usable average power is limited to 16W. This means that the power of a 400 W laser can not be used for production.
Demgegenüber kann eine Liniengeschwindigkeit auf dem Umfang eines rotierenden Zylinders von über 50 m/sec erreicht werden.In contrast, a line speed on the circumference of a rotating cylinder of over 50 m / sec can be achieved.

Die Kernidee der Erfindung besteht darin, dass in der Anlage zur Bestrahlung oder zur Bearbeitung von Substraten mit einem Hochleistungsultrakurzpulslaser eine Laserstrahlquelle (
Unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Drehachse 30.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute schafft und die Substratoberfläche auf einem Radius von 20 mm liegt, ergibt sich eine Oberflächengeschwindigkeit von 30.000/60·2·pi·20 mm/sec = 62,83 m/sec. Wenn der Laserspot einen Durchmesser von 10 μm hat, ermöglicht so eine Anlage, Laserspots mit einer Wiederholrate von 6,283 MHz ohne Überlappung über die Substratoberfläche zu scannen.Assuming that the axis of rotation provides 30,000 revolutions per minute and the substrate surface is at a radius of 20 mm, a surface velocity of 30,000 / 60 * 2 * pi * 20 mm / sec = 62.83 m / sec. When the laser spot has a diameter of 10 μm, a system makes it possible to scan laser spots at a repetition rate of 6.283 MHz without overlapping the substrate surface.

Die schnell rotierende Achse kann vorzugsweise eine luftgelagerte Achse bzw. eine hydraulisch gelagerte Achse bzw. Spindel sein. Solche Achsen zeichnen sich unter anderen durch eine große Drehzahl und einen stabilen Lauf aus.The fast rotating axle may preferably be an air bearing axle or a hydraulically supported axle or spindle. Such axles are characterized among others by a high speed and a stable run.
Als Strahlquellen werden vorzugsweise Laser mit einer Pulslänge unter 1 ns verwendet. Beispiele solcher Laser sind fs-Laser und ps-Laser.As beam sources, lasers having a pulse length of less than 1 ns are preferably used. Examples of such lasers are fs lasers and ps lasers.
