Usually nanosecond pulsing laser ablation of metal is under thermal effect. Many studies of the theoretical analysis and modeling to predict a result of laser ablation of metal are suggested on the basis of the photothermal mechanism. In this paper, we investigate the etching depth and laser fluence of laser ablation of copper films. We proposed the simplified SSB Model(Srinivasan-Smrtic-Babudp model) to study the photothermal effect of nanosecond pulsing laser ablation of copper thin metal. The experimental results were obtained by using the 355nm DPSS $Nd:YVO_4$ laser.

The material processing of UV nanosecond pulse laser cannot be avoided the material shape change and contamination caused by interaction of base material and laser beam. Nowadays, ultra short pulse laser shorter than nanosecond pulse duration is used to overcome this problem. The advantages of this laser are no heat transfer, no splashing material, no left material to the adjacent material. Because of these characteristics, it is so suitable for micro material processing. The processing of sapphire wafer was done by UV 355nm, green 532nm, IR 1064nm. X-Y motorized stage is installed to investigate the proper laser beam irradiation speed and cycles. Also, laser beam fluence and peak power are calculated.

We have studied a laser direct writing lithography(LDWL). This is more important to apply to micro patterning using UV laser. We demonstrate the possibility of LDWL and construct the fabrication system. We use Galvano scanner to process quickly micro patterns from computer data. And laser beam is focused with $F-{\theta}$ lens. AZ5214 and SU-8 photoresist are chosen as experimental materials and a kind of well-known positive and negative photoresist respectively. Laser ablation mechanism depends on the optical properties of polymer. In this paper, therefore we investigate the phenomenon of laser ablation according to the laser fluence variation and measure the shape profile of micro patterned holes. From these experimental results, we show that LDWL is very useful to process various micro patterns directly.

Gelatin is used as a model for soft biological tissues in studying laser interaction with the soft tissues. In this work, we analyze the interaction between gelatin and excimer and Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser under various conditions, especially by varying the laser, laser fluence and pulse number. The results show that swelling of the surface and ablation depth can be controlled by adjusting the process parameters.

It has been recognized that laser dicing of wafers results in low mechanical strength compared to the conventional sawing techniques. Thermal shock generated by rapid thermal loading is responsible for this problem. This work presents a two-dimensional ultra-short thermo elastic model for numerical simulation of femtosecond laser ablation of metals in the high-fluence regime where the phase explosion is dominant. Laser-induced thermoelastic stress is analyzed for Ni. The results show that the laser-induced thermal shock is large enough to induce mechanical damages.

The characteristics of femtosecond laser ablation of $Al_2O_3$ for prescision microfabrication are studied experimentally. Specifically, the process time during femtosecond laser drilling of microholes with $sub-100{\mu}m$ diameter are investigated for varying laser fluence, scan speed and beam path designs like trepanning with continuously changed start points. The accumulation of sub-micrometer size particles within the hole and the deterioration of edge clarity and roundness for decreasing hole diameter are examined and through process optimization the microdrilling with good hole quality is achieved using a femtosecond laser system (repetitionrate 1 kHz, wavelength 785 nm, pulse duration 185 fs)

We have investigated the behavior of the ultrafast laser ablation of chromium films (200nm) on the silicon and pyrex-glass(corning 7740) substrate with respect to the laser fluence and the number of laser pulses. In addition, several experiments about ITO thin film were carried out with femto-second Ti:Sapphire laser (150fs). Finally, we introduce the ablation characteristic in accordance with materials of thin film and substrate.

This work aimed to develop ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin films ablation with a KrF Eximer laser required for the application in flat panel display, especially patterning into small geometry on a large substrate area. The threshold fluence for ablating ITO on glass substrate is about 0.1 J/cm$^2$. And its value is much smaller than using third harmonic Nd:YAG laser. Through the optical microscope measurement the surface color of the damaged ITO is changed into dark brown and irradiated spot is completely isolated form the undamaged surroundings by laser light. The XPS analysis showed that the relative surface concentration of Sn and In were essentially unchanged (In :Sn=5:1) after irradiating Eximer laser. Using aluminium mask made by second harmonic Nd:YAG laser the ITO patterning is carried out.

The picosecond laser has been widely used to remove tattoos, and improve wrinkles, acne scarring, and pigmented scars. This study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a 1,064-nm fractional picosecond laser treatment for depressed traumatic scars. A total of twenty Korean patients with depressed scars were treated with a 1,064-nm fractional picosecond laser at a two-week interval with a spot size of 3 mm, fluence of 3.5 to 5.5 J/cm², and frequency of 2 Hz with a combination of microlens arrays. At 4 weeks after the final treatment, there was a statistically significant improvement in the modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS) and the patient satisfaction score without any significant complication. A 1,064-nm fractional picosecond laser treatment is a safe and effective method to improve traumatic wound scars with depression.

Microlens made by laser radiation method have advantages in the easiness of their fabrication. The process is based on the projection of a chromium-on-quartz reticle on to the Polymer using a pulsed 248nm KrF excimer laser. Fabrication process is a fluence-dependent rate and density. The lens shape is defined by a rotationally symmetric sluence distribution with smooth radial variation in the image plane of the reticle. A typical lens of 50㎛ diameter was fabricated by irradiating 2000 laser pulses within 40 seconds. The experimental results show microlens fabrication by UV laser is possible and well worth studying further.
