■Features
- Optical parts are selected and optically designed with emphasis on ITO film removal performance.
- Etching can be performed by swinging the laser beam with a galvanometer or by moving the standard automatic XY stage. (You can select based on the board size and pattern size.)
・Register DXF data and perform etching processing accordingly.
- Pattern removal of ITO films on PET films and glass substrates.
- Specifications for ITO membranes differ depending on each user, so work tests are required in advance to provide the optimal system.
- Workpiece dimensions can be processed up to 500 x 500 mm.
Laser light can be focused into a spot using a lens, etc., making it possible to remove extremely minute areas. Laser etching systems: CTET-LD (1) to (3) use this principle to pattern ITO films used in electrodes for liquid crystals, etc.
Patterning of ITO films has traditionally been carried out by a wet method using chemicals, but in recent years dry etching technology has been required due to the complexity of the process and environmental concerns. This is an essential technology in the EL panel manufacturing process.
This system uses LD-excited YAG laser light as the light source, and uses either CTTM-LD- (1) or CTTM-LD- (2) depending on the type of target processing. (2) has approximately 5 times the energy intensity of (1) and can be processed with higher energy. CTTM-LD- (3) is also available in the lineup to meet a wide variety of processing requirements.
This is a product that can be called Easy Oak Made, and the optical system basically uses (1) or (2) to optimize the laser light source. Based on our many years of experience and technology, we can recommend the most suitable laser light source for both domestic and overseas applications, including the selection of the laser wavelength to be used, and also provide system upgrades.
■Notes on using this device
There are a wide variety of ITO films available for each user, so it is necessary to borrow a workpiece and test it in advance.
The following needs to be determined through test cutting.
・Laser power
・Laser oscillation frequency
・Laser focal length (defocusing may be necessary in some cases)
・XY movement table speed
