The initial method for cutting crystalline silicon is mortar wire cutting but this method has a low cutting efficiency, high material loss, and a certain degree of water pollution so it is gradually replaced by diamond wire cutting.
The processing quality is mainly characterized by the dimensions and surface morphology of material surface. Whether drilling or cutting of silicon, the processing quality improves from nanosecond, picosecond to femtosecond laser due to the differences in material removal mechanism.
In addition to the field-assisted technology, a variety of new cutting methods emerge endlessly. Silicon can be cut by controlling the propagation path of laser induced crack. This technology is called LITP and realizes debris, chipping and cracks free cutting of silicon.
However, due to the immature laser cutting technology, the processing effect of monocrystalline silicon is not ideal [24, 25], especially since the machining affected zone cannot be completely eliminated in the laser direct cutting and the excessive machining affected zone will reduce the chip performance.
The cutting quality of silicon was good by using LITPC and the average surface roughness was about ten nanometers. Theoretical analysis indicated that crack propagation occurred when the stress intensity factor at the crack tip exceeded the fracture toughness of silicon.
This paper systematically summarizes laser drilling and cutting of silicon with different pulse widths from nanosecond, picosecond to femtosecond. Liquid-assisted laser removal of silicon are also discussed. As a new processing method, laser induced thermal crack propagation cutting (LITP) of silicon is described.
