Abstract—We report on defects characterization and reduction as well as die strength enhancement using stealth dicing (SD) on high-backside reflectance (82%) 2-D NAND memory wafers. This is performed using three-strata subsurface infrared (1.342 μm) nanosecond pulsed laser die singulation with a partial-SD before grinding integration approach. In this paper, a combination of simulation, cha…
Chaos research in laser physics, especially in semiconductor lasers, has developed further even after completion of the first edition of this book in the late summer of 2004, and it is still growing rapidly. For example, various forms of chaotic dynamics have been applied in newly developed semiconductor lasers, such as in vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers and broad-area sem…
In the present volume the main aspects of high-power laser–matter interaction in the intensity range 1010–1022 W/cm2 are described. We offer a guide to this topic for scientists and students who have just discovered the field as a new and attractive area of research, and for scientists who have worked in another field and want to join now the subject of laser plasmas. Being aware of the…
The people who will gain the most from this book are the scientists (graduate students, engineers, researchers) who are not necessarily trained as laser scientists but who want to use femtosecond pulses and/or gain a real understanding of this tool. Laser specialists will also find the book useful, particularly if they have to teach the subject to graduate or PhD students. For every reader…
