The growing need for precision machining, which is difficult to achieve using conventional mechanical machining techniques, has fueled interest in laser patterning. Ultraviolet (UV) pulsed-lasers have been used in various applications, including the micro machining of polymers and metals.
In this study, we investigated direct laser interference patterning of a silicon waver using a third-harmonic diode-pumped solid-state UV laser with a wavelength of 355 nm. Direct laser lithography is much more simple process compare to other submicro processing method. We have studied interference
patterning for silicon wafers as a basic research for direct laser interference patterning on wafer surfaces without mask. And Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed for a 150° biprism using modeling software (COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4) to determine changes in the periodic patterns
according to the focusing distance in the direct interference lithography experiment. In further study, we expect this technique to be applied to direct laser interference lithography on metals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
