Forming holes using laser energy
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of producing an electronic device, including:
- providing a stack including an absorbing element and a first layer provided over said absorbing element;
using laser energy to create a hole through at least said first layer and expose one or more conductive elements; and
providing conductive material within said hole;
wherein more of the laser energy is absorbed by said absorbing element than is absorbed by said first layer, and said hole in said first layer is created predominantly by the action of energy generated within said absorbing element.

Abstract
A method for generating via-hole interconnections by laser ablation, wherein the layers to be removed and ablated from the substrate are essentially transparent to the laser radiation, but the laser light is absorbed in an underlying absorbing layer with a sufficiently high optical density at the laser wavelength.
