Carbon removal of mold sample by femtosecond laser

Clean mold tool is important in large scale production of high quality integrated circuit chip. Conventional mold tool cleaning techniques often involve chemicals as cleaning agent which is costly and polluting process hence light is suggested as a non-chemical agent alternative. High intensity ligh...

Femtosecond laser of 1025 nm wavelength and pulse duration of 400 fs is utilized to remove carbon particle on chromium nitride surface.
