Laser ablation for deep etching

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Lithium niobate is an important material in the integrated optics area. However, the etch rate is slow with conventional etching techniques. We describe a method using laser ablation to perform deep etches of the order of hundreds of microns. The profiles can be accurately predicted using a super-position model. Electrostatic modeling is done to determine the effect of surface roughness on the electric fields in the substrate.
