Ultraviolet nanosecond pulsed lasers continue to see increased use for manufacturing flexible printed circuit (FPC) and microelectronics components, primarily due to the high quality processing results and smaller feature capabilities of the short wavelength and the steadily improving cost and reliability. Compared to longer wavelengths, UV light couples energy more efficiently to a wider variety of materials, and the shorter pulse width reduces heat effects. In addition, FPC processing generally requires smaller features, and the UV wavelength is more easily focused to small spot sizes thereby adding an additional benefit. Materials commonly found in FPC manufacturing include copper, polyimide, and various laminates thereof.
