Cleaning with Lasers
Laser Cleaned Device
Description
Advances in medical technology have dramatically increased the need for precise laser processing. This is especially true for implantable devices. In many cases, the ability of the excimer laser to remove material at the micron level is the answer. This same capability is also useful in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards and flex circuitry, and other manufacturing processes where thin coatings need to be removed. Cleaning, skiving, exposing leads and pads, removal of oxide coatings or excess material, and machining of controlled depth cavities are some of the numerous applications of this laser wavelength.
