T1 - Femtosecond laser micromachining of technical materials N2 - Micromachining experiments were performed with Ti:sapphire laser pulses (130 fs - 150 fs, 800 nm, approximately 10 Hz) in air. Employing the direct focusing technique, highly absorbing titanium nitride (TiN) and weakly absorbing polyimide (PI) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) served as target materials. The lateral and vertical precision of the laser ablation and morphological features were characterized by scanning force (SFM), scanning electron (SEM) and optical microscopy. For TiN, incubation can be observed, i.e. the single-pulse surface damage threshold (0.26 J/cm2) is by a factor of two greater than the threshold for 100 pulses. Ablation rates below 10 nm per pulse can be achieved. The evolution of sub-wavelength ripples is presented in dependence on pulse number and laser fluence, respectively. The incubation behavior of the polymers can be described by an accumulation model as for TiN. Experiments on PI with varying focal lengths result in the same modification thresholds. Different polarization states of light (linear, circular) lead to a variation of the ablation rate and to various morphological patterns in the ablation craters (wavelength ripples, cones). Swelling of PMMA occurred at fluences below the ablation threshold.

Machining investigations of crystalline silicon have been performed with laser pulses at a wavelength of 780 nm in the range between 5 fs and 400 fs. Applying 100 pulses per spot, surface damage thresholds were determined by the measurement of the damage diameter. In this pulse duration regime, the threshold fluences were nearly constant. Single-pulse investigations with 5 fs pulses yielded a value of about 0.15 J cm-2 identical to the multi-pulse experiment. This is in contradiction to the behaviour of dielectrics where incubation effects alter the optical properties down to the 5 fs pulse regime. Employing laser pulses with a duration of 130 fs at a wavelength of 800 nm, single-pulse ablation thresholds of 0.23 J cm-2 and 0.16 J cm-2 were determined for Si and InP in air, respectively. The threshold fluence was calculated from the linear relation between the square of the diameters versus the logarithm of the laser fluences.

T1 - Scanning force microscopic investigations of the femtosecond pulse laser ablation of indium phosphide in air N2 - Laser ablation of single-crystalline indium phosphide (InP) was performed in air by means of linearly polarized Ti:sapphire femtosecond-pulses (800 nm, 130 fs, 10 Hz). As a result of the first laser pulses, several morphological changes (crater formation, rim formation, ripple structures and cones) were observed. These effects were explored using force modulation microscopy (FMM), a technique based on scanning force microscopy (SFM), allowing the simultaneous imaging of both topography and local stiffness at a high lateral resolution. The first laser pulse induces the formation of a protruding rim (height <20 nm, width ~300 nm) bordering the ablated crater. A Fourier-analysis of the multi-pulse generated topographies reveals the formation of wavelength-sized periodic ripples (modulation depth <100 nm) with an orientation perpendicular to that of the electric field vector of the laser radiation. Besides these morphological alterations, also material modifications were observed in the irradiated regions by means of the FFM technique. Within the ablated craters, local stiffness variations were found revealing an inhomogeneous material composition/structure as a consequence of the femtosecond pulse laser treatment.

Depending on the laser fluence, in some regions the studies indicate a thin amorphous top-layer as well as ablated and recrystallized zones. The single-pulse threshold fluences for melting, ablation and polycrystalline recrystallization are determined quantitatively. Several different topographical surface structures (rims and protrusions) are found. Their formation is discussed in the context of recent studies of the laser irradiation of silicon. In combination with a thin-film optical model, the thickness of the amorphous layer is determined by two independent and nondestructive optical methods to be in the order of several 10 nm.

The influence of the laser pulse number and the peak fluence was investigated by means of several surface analytical techniques (optical microscopy, dynamic friction atomic force microscopy, scanning Auger electron microscopy and small-spot electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis). The correlation of the results about optical, physical and chemical properties of the irradiated areas allows us to propose a simple oxidation model, which explains different observed phenomena associated with surface damage such as mound formation and crater widening and clarifies the incubation behavior reported earlier for this material.

The morphology of the ablated areas generated by laser pulses at a fluence slightly above the ablation threshold was characterized in dependence on the pulse number by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The cavity profiles, depths, diameters, and volumes were quantitatively evaluated by AFM. The polarization state of the laser light is discussed as a further parameter, in addition to fluence and pulse number, that influences and controls the ablation precision of these materials. It was observed that circularly polarized radiation enhances the average ablation rates and reduces the roughness in the cavities by a factor of 2-3 as compared to linearly polarized radiation of the same incident laser fluence. Special attention was paid to the interfacial region between the coating and substrate. Ultrashort-pulse laser drilling into the Si substrate revealed the generation of columnar features which even may surmount the original coating under laser conditions.

This cannot be achieved by conventional photolithography, usually performed with ultraviolet short-pulse lasers (excimer, fourth harmonic Nd:YAG). When processing thermally sensitive or undoped polymers with low optical absorption, the use of femtosecond laser pulses can improve the ablation precision, also reducing the heat-affected zone. Therefore, a Ti:sapphire laser system was employed to perform ablation experiments on polyimide (PI). The irradiated areas were evaluated by means of optical and scanning electron microscopy. Highly oriented ripple structures, which are related to the polarization state of the laser pulses, were observed in the cavities. The relationship between the ablation threshold fluence and the number of laser pulses applied to the same spot is described in accordance with an incubation model.

Different ablation thresholds and heat-affected zones were observed. The lateral and vertical machining precision was evaluated. Single nanosecond laser pulses in the far UV resulted in a bubble or a circular hole in the centre of the illuminated spot, depending on the applied fluence. The ablation behaviour in the case of near-IR femtosecond pulses contrasted to this. Bubble formation was not detected. It needed repeated pulses at the same spot to modify the surface until material removal could be observed (incubation). Cavity dimensions of less than the beam diameter were achieved in this case.

With an increasing number of pulses per spot, N, up to 100, a characteristic evolution of two different types of ripples has been observed, i.e., (i) the growth of a grating perpendicular to the polarization vector consisting of nearly wavelength-sized periodic lines and (ii), in a specific pulse number regime (N = 5–30), the additional formation of equally oriented ripples with a spatial period close to half of the laser wavelength.

Permanent modifications were generated at the surface of the glass samples with varying laser fluences in the ablative regime and evaluated for changes in the corresponding Raman band positions and bandwidths. For increasing laser fluences, the position of certain Raman bands changed, indicating an increase in the mass density of the glass inside the irradiated area. Simultaneously, the widths of all investigated bands increased, indicating a higher degree of disorder in the glass structure with respect to bond-angle and bond-length variations.

In metals, predominantly low-spatial-frequency-LIPSS with periods close to the laser wavelength λ are observed perpendicular to the polarization. Under specific irradiation conditions, high-spatial-frequency-LIPSS with sub-100-nm spatial periods (~λ/10) can be generated. For semiconductors, the impact of transient changes of the optical properties to the LIPSS periods is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. In dielectrics, the importance of transient excitation stages in the LIPSS formation is demonstrated experimentally using (multiple) double-fs-laser-pulse irradiation sequences. A characteristic decrease of the LIPSS periods is observed for double-pulse delays of less than 2 ps.
