Simulation of Laser Micro Patterning Process Using FEM

유한요소법을 이용한 레이저 미세 패터닝 공정 해석

Femtosecond laser is the latest generation pulsed laser delivering shortest pulses. Any solid materials can be machined by it. Femtosecond laser micromachining allows highest precision and minimal heat influence within the workpiece. But due to the complex physical phenomena between the laser beam and the workpiece materials, it is very difficult to determine the optimal process conditions in the femtosecond laser micromachining. In this study, a method to simulate the femtosecond laser micromachining process was proposed. And femtosecond laser micro patterning processes of chromium thin film are simulated by the proposed method using a commercial FE code, LS-Dyna. Simulation results were compared with those of experiments.
