Dynamics of double-pulse laser printing of copper microstructures

Abstract: Laser induced forward transfer process can be implemented in a double-pulse scheme where a solid thin film deposited on a transparent donor substrate is irradiated by two synchronized lasers. In a recently demonstrated methodology, a long pulse is first applied to melt the film and an appropriately delayed ultrashort laser pulse initiates material transfer in the liquid phase toward a receiver substrate. This provides a versatile method to print high-resolution (<2 µm) patterns with a long working distance (>4… Show more

“…A microsecond laser pulse is used to melt the relatively thick copper donor film (1 μm thick), while a delayed ultrashort pulse is then used to propel the material onto the receiving substrate below. The ejection dynamics of the process are studied and reveal that the delay between the subsequent pulses can be used to control both the shape and volume of the printed voxels (Li et al 2019). A high aspect ratio copper microstructure can be seen in Fig.…”

“…We have shown in a previous work how the local temperature of the copper film can evolve from the room temperature to its vaporization point, and the corresponding molten pool diameter is changed during the irradiation by the QCW pulse. In the present investigations, we have chosen to deliver the femtosecond pulse with a fixed delay of 275 µs after the rising edge of the QCW pulse so that the molten pool diameter is always maintained at 20 µm and the temperature at the center of the molten pool is 1590 K according to calculations [36]. Under these conditions, liquid copper jetting behaviors induced by different femtosecond laser fluences are studied.…”

“…This method appears to be a versatile method to print high-resolution (< 2 µm) patterns with a long working distance (> 40 µm). It has successfully generated liquid nano-jets without debris from solid donor films of various materials (Cu, Au), leading to well-defined and clean printed structures [35,36].…”
