Laser Marking on Ceramic Application

The parts were laser marked using a 20 watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with 160 mm focal length lens. The parts were surface marked to create brightly contrasting marks. The parts were marked using various parameters, resulting in various cycle times and various darknesses and qualities of marks on the samples.
"Fonon Display and Semiconductor marking and engraving products range from smaller handheld systems to larger industrial sized machines," said Maureen McHale, Fonon Display and Semiconductors Corporate Marketing and Public Relations Manager. "This ensures no matter the size of the company or application Fonon DSS can provide an affordable system which is easily integrated into any production facility," continued McHale.

Medical Device Marking Using a Fiber Laser

The parts were marked on this medical saw using a 20Watt Fiber Laser Marking System. The parts were marked with a single line, narrow font for speed purposes and a bold font to increase readability. The parts were engraved deep enough that the marking would very hard to remove. One part was engraved using a narrow font, this produced a short cycle time. The cycle time for narrow engraved part took 3 seconds. The second part was engraved with a bold font to increase readability; the cycle time for the bold font was 8.5 seconds.

Marking Glass Using a CO2 Laser



The light bulb glass was marked using Synrad 48-2 25 watt CW CO2 laser with a FLA125 focal length lens. The glass was marked using a power of 25 watts at a speed of 25” per second, resulting in a cycle time of 0.52 seconds. The font was a simple stroke. The material provided readable marks.

Blackstar SW300 Cutting Solar Silicon Panels

BLACKSTAR™ is a Wafer Dicing System utilizing Fantom Width Laser Dicing Technology® (FWLDT®) invented and patented by Fonon Technology and modified to accommodate the requirements of a silicon wafer singulation process without affecting the existent dicing method, processes or procedures.

Wafers have the highest value at the dicing stage and the primary focus of a BlackStar™ is to increase the number of dies, yield per wafer, and to maximize throughput while minimizing the HAZ specifically for “power hungry” RF micro devices and low-K wafer substrates.

The system is applicable for dicing of assorted semiconductor materials such as silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), indium phosphide (InP), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), gallium phosphide (GaP), other compound materials, as well as low-k and multi-layer composite materials.

BlackStar™ is an alternative to mechanical saws too damaging and costly for cutting of thin delicate silicon, low-K and complex material wafers.

Watch the BlackStar™ in Action Now!

Brittney Spears Guide to Semiconductors?

If you haven't already stumbled on this site...
"Britney Spears' Guide to Semiconductor Physics" maybe it's time, after all...it's Friday!


According the to authors...
"It is a little known fact, that Ms Spears is an expert in semiconductor physics. Not content with just singing and acting, in the following pages, she will guide you in the fundamentals of the vital semiconductor laser components that have made it possible to hear her super music in a digital format."

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
