Abstract

Provided is a stabilized laser working apparatus for stabilizing and emitting the pulse output of a solid laser to a workpiece thereby to work the workpiece finely. The laser working apparatus comprises an excitation laser oscillator (46) for optically exciting a Q-switch element (6) and a laser medium (5), which are disposed in a laser oscillator, in advance, and a laser oscillator (41) for irradiating the excitation density of an upper level in the laser medium for a predetermined period with a laser wavelength other than that of an oscillation object, thereby to de-excite and reduce the upper level density. After the de-excitation in the laser resonator, the Q-switch element (6) is set into a laser oscillation blocking (or closed) state, and the optical excitation of the upper level is performed to perform an energy storage of the laser medium for a predetermined period. Next, the Q-switch element (6) is switched to the laser oscillating (ON) state thereby to oscillate and output Q-switch pulses, so that the homogeneous Q-switch pulse outputs for every pulses are introduced to work the workpiece finely irrespective of the Q-switch pulse oscillation interval.

Description

200810301 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明是關於加工裝置,該加工裝置使用適合於半導 體晶圓上之半導體裝置之電路構成零件等之加工之雷射振 盪裝置,得到即使變化脈衝重複頻率亦可以取得安定之高 輸出Q開關脈衝之裝置及方法,並且,實現即使任意照 射時序亦可以取得經常安定化之輸出的微細加工裝置及方 法。 【先前技術】 在電子工業中,對於微細化之電路零件之調整、修 正、加工等,於該領域所知的有如照射自固體雷射所取得 之Q開關脈衝輸出,使用於除去、標記、修整、劃線等 之製造工程。在該雷射加工方法中,是以即使重複每雷射 脈衝之輸出能量、波形,對於頻率之變化亦經常取得特定 輸出爲佳。例如,用以切換半導體記憶體之冗長電路之不 良救濟用的電路保險絲切斷等,是以一面高速掃描不等間 隔之切斷點,一面將聚光雷射光束照射至電路之保險絲而 切斷保險絲部。該是藉由隨著高速振盪指令朝切斷點照射 安定脈衝波形、能量,求出高精度處理高積體度之記憶體 單元;°對該些加工對象物照射雷射脈衝之時間間隔不均勻 之情形爲多’故有用以將雷射振盪器所發射出之脈衝能 量、脈衝寬、峰値輸出予以均等化的技術。對此之先前技 術是如第1圖所示般,提案有藉由組合脈衝雷射振盪裝置 -5- 200810301 和音響光源元件(AOM)所產生之脈衝安定化方法。 第1圖爲使AOM在每脈衝動作之脈衝安定化方法, 使用藉由Α Ο Μ除去於Q開關脈衝振盪後所產生之低輸出 脈衝之方法。該有使用高價格ΑΟΜ裝置之缺點。於下述 說明。自半導體雷射等之激勵用之光源1所發射之雷射光 朝向固體雷射媒體5之雷射振盪激勵用聚光部1 0發射。 該之間存在相對於構成透鏡等之聚光光學系3和固體雷射 共振器之雷射波長成爲高反射,相對於激勵光成爲透過性 之高反射鏡4。雷射共振器之另一方之輸出鏡7是被設置 在與雷射媒體5之高反射鏡4相反側上,在雷射媒體5和 輸出鏡7之間設置有由音響光學性之開關元件所構成之Q 開關元件6。動作訊號自雷射裝置之控制部1 1使激勵光 源驅動部8、Q開關驅動部、被設置在與雷射共振器之外 部的ΑΟΜ29之ΑΟΜ驅動部12發生訊號。ΑΟΜ施加RF 功率至超音波變換器而生成布拉格折射(Bragg diffraction) 單元,使通過光束折射。因此,當自驅動部12施加RF 至單元時,光束之一部份則在RF施加時點藉由折射分 離。將RF功率音波傳播至AOM之折射單元而通過折射 格子之雷射脈衝藉由放大器1 5被瞄準而進入反射鏡1 6, 反射而朝向加工對象物20,在透鏡1 8聚光而聚光照射至 加工對象物20之表面,執行加工。加工對象物20是藉由 驅動台23執行精密定位之驅動。驅動在已知之技術是藉 由自控制部11經由控制訊號線26而執行。 在如此之構成中,雷射振盪是以第2圖所示之程序執 -6- 200810301 行。事先發出來自半導體雷射之激勵用雷射光束2’雷射 媒體被放置在事先激勵狀態。在此’當脈衝觸發在(a)之 tl、t3、t5、…時點發出時,RF1之功率則自驅動部9被 施加至Q開關元件,增加在雷射振盪之高反射鏡4和輸 出鏡7之間的雷射振盪之往返光路之損失,形成抑制振盪 之狀態。該狀態在時間tl-t2、t3-t4、t5-t6、…之時間持 續,於該期間將激勵能量蓄積於雷射媒體5。該蓄積量是 與激勵光之強度及tl-t2、t3-t4、t5-t6、…之時間大略成 比例。在t2、t4、t6以驅動部9隔斷對開關6供給RF功 率。依此,在雷射共振器激烈發生Q開關脈衝,透過輸 出鏡7取得(c)之輸出光束30MIR。接著,因雷射媒體放 置在激勵狀態,故雷射媒體恢復雷射振盪增益,存在於 RF功率不被施加至Q開關元件6之狀態,故連續性低輸 出之振盪部份則如第2圖之(c )之1 3 S I R所示持續振盪。 因此,雷射輸出光路30IR含有Q開關脈衝部份30MIR和 連續輸出部份13SIR。 因在雷射共振器之外部光束光路設置有Α Ο Μ 2 9,故 將自驅動部1 2施加R F功率至該a Ο Μ 2 9之時序,如第2 圖(d)所示般,於Q開關脈衝30MIR結束後配合連續盪振 邰份1 3 S IR之振盪時序。連續性振盪部份丨3 s〗r因在 AOM29折射’故與Q開關脈衝3〇MIR*離如第1圖所示 般取得另外方向之光束13SIR。連續性雷射振盪部份14 表示此。與Q開關脈衝部份3 〇 ΜIR分離而連續性之雷射 部份13SIR是不朝向加工對象物。因此,僅q開關脈衝 200810301 3 0MIR照射至加工對象物20,有助於加工。 在如此之以往構成中,必須於振盪器之外部設置 AOM29,與脈衝振盪同步而控制動作時序。具有AOM29 所產生之損失,使用具有功率損失之AOM29則有導致增 加裝置成本,必須設置場所等之缺點。並且,A0M2 9是 當雷射光束波長變化時,必須使設置角度、光學端面之反 射防止膜之變更的必要性發生等之設置條件再次予以最佳 化。 並且,在重複脈衝振盪輸出中,因迴避第1號脈衝與 後續之脈衝輸出不同之現象,故於Q開關振盪之前,降 低激勵Nd : YAG雷射媒體之光源的激勵強度,如此之技 術揭示於美國專利第43 3 7442號說明書。揭示有爲了使脈 衝輸出成爲一定,持續如此的連續性激勵,因於Q開關 脈衝振盪之前於特定期間停止振盪動作,故以Q開關隔 斷振盪,於蓄積Q開關脈衝用之能量後,使Q開關予以 振盪之方法,於事先Q開關振盪之前使來自激勵光源之 激勵強度下降之方法等,調整雷射振盪之上能級位準之分 佈數之方法。 [專利文獻1]美國專利第43 3 7442號說明書 [專利文獻2]美國專利第5 0 1 8 1 52號說明書 [專利文獻3]美國專利第529 1 5 05號說明書 [專利文獻4]美國專利第5 3 3 93 2 3號說明書 [專利文獻5]美國專利第5 8 1 25 69號說明書 [專利文獻6]美國專利第5982790號說明書 200810301 [專利文獻7 ]美國專利第6 0 3 8 2 4 1號說明書 [專利文獻8]美國專利第64 1 8 1 54號說明書 [專利文獻9 ]美國專利第6 0 0 9 1 1 0號說明書 [專利文獻10]美國專利第6683 893號說明書 [專利文獻Π]美國專利第693 1 03 5號說明書 [專利文獻12]美國專利第6 1 723 25號說明書 [專利文獻1 3 ]美國專利第5 7 1 9 3 7 2號說明書 [專利文獻14]美國專利第44 1 23 3 0號說明書 [專利文獻1 5 ]特表2 0 0 2 -

1所示般可以降低至 此所蓄積之上能級之能量位準之密度。 在特定時間tl-t2之期間執行退激,之後僅以退激雷 射在t2-t3之間激勵,執行用以在上能級發生反轉分布之 激勵(UL-2)。之後,如第4圖(b)所示般,在t3-t4間隔斷 朝Q開關元件6之驅動用RF功率,成爲透過(開)狀態, 使Q開關脈衝3 3 G振盪。在此,上能級之激勵密度隨著 雷射振盪降低(UL-3)。此時之Q開關脈衝輸出33G對應 於在時間t2-t3之間被蓄積於雷射媒體5之能量而放射脈 衝能量(f)Q〇之33G。於Q開關脈衝之振盪後,因自時刻 t4再次使Q開關成爲隔斷(閉)狀態,施加RF功率至Q開 關元件6。在該過程之時刻t3-t4之間振盪而發射之Q開 關脈衝,加工第1加工對象點。接著,第2加工對象物點 也相同,求出自位置和掃描速度所求出之Q開關振盪之 時序,在根據此之時間關係,在時間t5-t6之間持續退激 DPL1,之後,執行特定時間t6-t7之間雷射激勵,之後, 在時間t7-t8間隔斷RF使Q開關脈衝33G振盪。此時, 爲Q開關脈衝之間隔的時間t3-t7、t7-tl 1之時間變化 時,即是即使時間t4-t5、t8-t9之間的時間不同,因將退 激製程(d)之DPL1導入至Q開關重複動作之脈衝振盪循 環間,故自tl、t5、t9以前各被蓄積之上能級能量藉由退 激雷射而減少。(f)Q0所示之Q開關脈衝輸出33G之輸出 能量因已退激後之激勵能量被設定,故謀求與脈衝頻率無 關係之輸出均等化。因此,藉由使用該些均等化之脈衝輸 -17- 200810301 出,可以與雷射照射時序無關係精密執行加工對象物之加 工。第3號以後之Q開關動作爲相同製程之重複。 上述圖之實施例中如第4圖(〇所示般表示以低強度 使激勵用之雷射輸出P L予以動作之例,但是,即使以該 輸出成爲退激中或振盪停止或是低輸出狀態之方式,調變 激勵用雷射輸出PL而促進退激速度亦可。 在上述說明中,針對非線形光學元件3 1,於加工用 波長使用基本波之波長時不需要,但是於使用第2高諧波 時則將眾知之非線形光學元件相對於基本波之光束設置成 滿足相位整合條件。依此,Q開關脈衝變換至第2高諧波 而自輸出鏡7’發射。此時因應所需依據波長過濾器32除 去藉由混入至第2高諧波輸出之Q開關脈衝之基本波成 分或退激波長成分而被刺激所發射之 ASE成分(ASE = Amplified Spontaneous Emission 之簡稱,被放大之自然 放射光之意),將混入成分33 1R導入光束吸收體34,以 光束放大器1 5僅瞄準第2高諧波成分3 3 G,而由反射鏡 1 6反射之後,以聚光透鏡1 8形成微細之點,而照射至加 工對象物,可以施予加工。 爲了使非線形光學元件3 1產生非線形作用,必須使 輸入光偏光。於共振器內具有帶偏光之要素時,必須在另 外光路設置偏光器等之偏光手段。在此所示之偏光手段之 必要性在本案發明設置非線形光學元件之時,所有爲共 同。 於將該基本波長之第2高諧波成分藉由線形光學元件 -18- 200810301 予以波長變換並利用於加工之時,即使連續振盪成分混入 基本波亦可,因爲被波長變換之第2高諧波成分之大部份 僅取得高變換效率之Q開關元件之成分當作第2高諧波 被輸出之故。即使連續波成分不被波長變換,放發射於與 高諧波相同軸上,亦可藉由波長過濾器刪除高諧波以外。 因此,可以完全刪除連續成分。 藉由通過非線形光學元件3 1,可以大幅度緩和共振 器內之振盪抑制能對Q開關元件6之基本波成分之負 擔。該是自以往使用基本波時,因以使Q開關元件之驅 動功率不輸出連續輸出成分之方式,增大用以增大Q開 關元件之抑制能之Q開關元件驅動之RF功率,抑制連續 振盪,或於輸出連續成分之後,如先前技術所說明般,必 須以AOM來刪除之故。於前者時,因增大Q開關驅動部 9之RF電路之最大功率,故有多數產生藉由發熱產生信 賴性下降,隨著對高重複RF調變元件增大負荷而對最高 重複率限制,由於增大Q開關變換器之消耗電力使得於 與變換器之折射媒體的接合部產生剥離或發生超音波振動 用變換器之破裂等之不良現象。於後者之時,由於設置具 有分離Q開關脈衝成分和連續振盪成分之高折射率的 AOM,故AOM之變換器需要高RF功率驅動,產生如Q 開關元件6中與RF驅動器有關之設計性限制的缺點。 [實施例2] 實施例2爲在基本波振盪中連續輸出成分與Q開關 -19- 200810301 脈衝交互發生之例。使用第3圖之構成。第6圖是說明本 實施例之動作。事先產生激勵用半導體雷射振盪器46之 輸出,激勵雷射媒體5,以將該期間Q開關元件6之RF 功率,以重複脈衝速度,降低RF功率至可以抑制所需之 能量蓄積位準之程度,具有低折射能爲止之方式,將(b) 之RF 1設定成比較低之位準。因此,當進行激勵能量之 蓄積時,雷射勝過Q開關元件6之抑制而開始連續性振 盪,如(f)Q0所示般輸出連續性低輸出LP。接著,在 (d)DPL之tl-t2之間產生退激DPL1而予以退激,將被蓄 積之能量當作ASE而放射,如(e)UL-N之UL-1所示般消 耗上能級之能量。該期間,激勵用半導體雷射如(〇PL之 11 -t2間般振盪停止或隔斷。並且,退激用雷射之振盪指 令是與實施例1相同,藉由第6圖(a)所示之觸發訊號而 發出。 在t2-t3之間自激勵用半導體雷射再次照射激勵光而 激勵雷射媒體,蓄積所需之激勵位準能量(UL-2)。之後, 在t3停止施加Q開關元件6之RF施加,使引起Q開關 脈衝振盪,發射Q開關脈衝33G(UL-3)。接著,對Q開關 元件6施加RF 1功率而自激勵用半導體雷射振盪器46使 雷射媒體5激勵光,連續振盪成分L P振盪。之後,以需 要之時序t5-t6執行退激雷射照射,以激勵用半導體雷射 在特定時間(t6-t7)激勵,接著,執行振盪Q開關脈衝之重 複。即使在該循環中發生連續性輸出,非線形光學元件 3 1中之變換效率因與功率之平方成比例,故連續輸出之 -20- 200810301 變換效率,比起Q開關脈衝,由於壓倒性較低,故以基 本波原樣通過非線形光學元件3 1,利用波長過濾器3 2分 離,以光束吸收體3 4成爲熱而可以刪除。因此’對加工 對象物僅照射來自高諧波成分之Q開關脈衝之變換成 分,執行加工。 退激期間11 -12、t 5 -16及19 -11 0亦可能成爲零。於成 爲零時,因可以省略退激用雷射,故即使不是自第3圖與 退激用雷射發訊器4 1、控制訊號線40、瞄準透鏡42、偏 光光束重疊器44及雷射裝置控制部5 0中之退激用雷射振 盪器控制有關之功能亦可。 於對Q開關元件6施加RF功率時,將振盪設定成完 全無法抑制之位準,在抑制上能級之反轉分布數之狀態, 使用第6圖(g)UL’-N之時,尤其在第6圖(g)、(h)、(i)表 示使退激時間tl-t2、t5-t6、t9-tl0成爲0之時的動作。 此時,具有從低重複至高重複動作安定在任意間隔取得低 峰値Q開關之特徵。此時,以第6圖(g)表示上能級之能 量。相當於第6圖(f)之振盪輸出之時間經過成爲第6圖(h) 般。勝過因Q開關之抑制能所造成之損失而振盪連續洩 漏成分LP’,持續至Q開關脈衝振盪指令時序t3、t7、 11 1之前,在此,當RF功率關閉時,藉由RF功率施加所 抑制之殘存增益,取得低峰値Q開關脈衝(h)Q’之33G。 藉由將此以非線形光學元件予以波長變換成高諧波,取得 第2高諧波之Q開關輸出(i)QSHG之33G’。當藉由該方 法時,因至不發生洩漏振盪成分LP,的高重複率爲止以一 -21 - 200810301 定輸出取得Q開關脈衝3 3 G及第2高諧波輸出3 3 G ’。故 與脈衝重複率無關係,取得與脈衝間隔無關係之安定高諧 波Q開關脈衝。 [實施例3][Technical Field] The present invention relates to a processing apparatus which uses a laser oscillation device suitable for processing a circuit component or the like of a semiconductor device on a semiconductor wafer, and obtains a pulse repeat even if it is changed A device and method for obtaining a stable high-output Q-switch pulse at a frequency, and a micro-machining device and method capable of obtaining a constantly stabilized output even at an arbitrary irradiation timing. [Prior Art] In the electronics industry, for the adjustment, correction, processing, etc. of the miniaturized circuit components, it is known in the art that the Q-switch pulse output obtained from the solid laser is used for removal, marking, trimming. Manufacturing engineering such as scribing. In the laser processing method, it is preferable to obtain a specific output for a change in frequency even if the output energy and waveform of each laser pulse are repeated. For example, a circuit fuse for cutting a defective circuit for switching a semiconductor memory is cut off by a high-speed scanning of unequal intervals, and the concentrated laser beam is irradiated to a fuse of the circuit. Fuse section. By irradiating the stable pulse waveform and the energy to the cutting point with the high-speed oscillation command, the memory unit with high precision is obtained by high-precision processing; and the time interval at which the laser beam is irradiated to the processing object is uneven. In many cases, it is useful to equalize the pulse energy, pulse width, and peak chirp output emitted by the laser oscillator. The prior art for this is as shown in Fig. 1, and there is proposed a pulse stabilization method by combining a pulsed laser oscillation device -5 - 200810301 and an acoustic light source element (AOM). Fig. 1 is a method of pulse-stabilizing the AOM in each pulse operation, using a method of removing the low-output pulse generated by the oscillation of the Q-switch pulse by Α Μ 。. This has the disadvantage of using a high-priced device. As explained below. The laser light emitted from the light source 1 for excitation by a semiconductor laser or the like is emitted toward the laser oscillation excitation concentrating portion 10 of the solid laser medium 5. Between the condensing optical system 3 and the solid-state laser resonator constituting the lens, the high-reflection mirror 4 is highly reflective and highly transparent to the excitation light. The other output mirror 7 of the laser resonator is disposed on the opposite side of the high mirror 4 of the laser medium 5, and an acoustic optical switching element is disposed between the laser medium 5 and the output mirror 7. The Q switching element 6 is constructed. The operation signal from the control unit 1 of the laser device causes the excitation light source driving unit 8, the Q-switch driving unit, and the driving unit 12 provided in the outer portion of the laser resonator to generate a signal. ΑΟΜ RF power is applied to the ultrasonic transducer to generate a Bragg diffraction unit that refracts through the beam. Therefore, when RF is applied from the driving portion 12 to the unit, a portion of the light beam is separated by refraction at the time of RF application. The RF power sound wave is propagated to the refraction unit of the AOM, and the laser pulse passing through the refracting grid is aimed by the amplifier 15 and enters the mirror 16. The reflection is directed toward the object 20, and the lens is concentrated at the lens 18. Processing is performed on the surface of the object 20 to be processed. The object 20 is driven by the drive table 23 to perform precise positioning. The known technique of driving is performed by the control unit 11 via the control signal line 26. In such a configuration, the laser oscillation is performed in the procedure shown in Fig. 2 -6-200810301. The excitation laser beam 2' from the semiconductor laser is previously placed in a pre-excited state. Here, when the pulse is triggered at the point of (a) tl, t3, t5, ..., the power of RF1 is applied from the driving portion 9 to the Q switching element, and the high reflection mirror 4 and the output mirror are added in the laser oscillation. The loss of the round-trip optical path between the laser oscillations between 7 forms a state of suppressing oscillation. This state continues at times t1 - t2, t3 - t4, t5 - t6, ..., during which the excitation energy is accumulated in the laser medium 5. The amount of accumulation is approximately proportional to the intensity of the excitation light and the time of tl-t2, t3-t4, t5-t6, . The RF power is supplied to the switch 6 by the drive unit 9 at t2, t4, and t6. Accordingly, the Q-switch pulse is intensely generated in the laser resonator, and the output beam 30MIR of (c) is obtained through the output mirror 7. Then, since the laser medium is placed in the excited state, the laser medium restores the laser oscillation gain, and the RF power is not applied to the Q switching element 6, so the oscillation portion of the continuous low output is as shown in FIG. The oscillation of 1 3 SIR of (c) continues. Therefore, the laser output optical path 30IR includes a Q switch pulse portion 30MIR and a continuous output portion 13SIR. Since the external beam path of the laser resonator is provided with Α Μ Μ 2 9, the timing of applying RF power from the driving portion 12 to the a Ο Μ 2 9 is as shown in Fig. 2(d). After the end of the Q-switch pulse 30MIR, the oscillation timing of the 1 3 S IR is continuously matched. The continuous oscillation portion 丨3 s〗R is obtained by refraction at AOM29, and the Q-switch pulse 3〇MIR* is taken as the light beam 13SIR in the other direction as shown in Fig. 1. The continuous laser oscillating portion 14 indicates this. The laser portion 13SIR which is separated from the Q-switch pulse portion 3 〇 Μ IR is not oriented toward the object to be processed. Therefore, only the q-switch pulse 200810301 3 0MIR is irradiated to the object 20 to facilitate processing. In such a conventional configuration, the AOM 29 must be provided outside the oscillator to synchronize the pulse oscillation to control the operation timing. With the loss caused by AOM29, the use of AOM29 with power loss has the disadvantage of causing the cost of the device to be increased, and the location must be set. Further, in the case where the wavelength of the laser beam is changed, the setting condition of the installation angle and the necessity of changing the reflection preventing film of the optical end face must be optimized again. Moreover, in the repetitive pulse oscillation output, since the phenomenon that the first pulse is different from the subsequent pulse output is avoided, the excitation intensity of the light source that excites the Nd:YAG laser medium is lowered before the Q-switch oscillation, and thus the technique is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,337,442. It is disclosed that in order to keep the pulse output constant, the continuous excitation is continued.

Improve the stability of the laser oscillation mode. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 10. [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail using Figs. 3 and 4 . The same number is used for the functional part in which the description number in the figure is the same as the number used in the first figure of the prior art. Here, the output mirror 7 is an output mirror having a high transmittance for the fundamental wave and a high transmittance for the second harmonic. The excitation laser beam from the semiconductor laser oscillator 46 of the laser excitation source is made into a parallel beam via the aiming lens 43 and guided to the polarization stacker 44. Further, the de-excitation laser oscillator 4 1 ' for the laser upper-level excitation density reduction is a source of de-excitation of the laser wavelength outside the wavelength of the laser medium for the laser oscillation. The laser beam from the demagnetizing laser oscillator 41 is made into a parallel beam by the aiming lens 42 and guided to the polarization beam superimposer 44. The two beams are overlapped or time-shifted and arranged coaxially on the coaxial line. The combined beam 45 is focused by the collecting optics 3 so that the fundamental wavelength of the laser resonator is concentrated on the laser medium 5 through the high anti--14-200810301 lens 4. A non-linear optical element 31 is disposed between the output mirror 7' of the laser resonator and the Q switching element. In this configuration, the Q switching element 6 between the laser resonator 4 and the output mirror 7' controls the timing of turning on and off the RF power as shown in Fig. 4(b) with an instruction from the control unit 50. In the example of FIG. 3, although the light of the semiconductor laser oscillator 46 for excitation is transmitted in space, the light of the excitation oscillator can be transmitted by the optical fiber, and at this time, the light source beam for de-excitation is coupled to the optical fiber. Transmitted coaxially. The oscillation wavelengths of the excitation laser oscillator 41 and the excitation semiconductor laser oscillator 46 are Nd : YAG : Nd : YV04 and Nd : YLF added to the Nd ion by the laser medium, and the The energy level map of the known Nd shown in the figure uses a wavelength near 80 8 nm as the excitation wavelength, and the debounce is effective for the laser light in the vicinity of the wavelengths 9.9 μιη, Ι.ίμιη, and 1·3 μιη. This is because the other migration wavelengths of 4F3/2, which is the starting point of the upper level of the laser migration of the wavelength used for the Nd:YAG crystal used in the laser medium, are 946 nm, 1123 nm, and 1319 nm. In the above configuration, an example of the operation timing of each element and the control unit will be described. In order to set the machining setting of the object 20, the drive unit 21 is driven by the drive unit 21 by a signal from the control unit 50. The control position of the drive station can be even a closed loop position control system with a decoder (no picture). At this stage, in order to preempt the Q-switching element 6 and the excitation semiconductor laser oscillator 46 applied to the ultrasonic wave at the time 11' of FIG. 4, RF is applied by controlling the application timing of the RF1 of FIG. 4(b). Start (c) incentive work -15- 200810301 rate (PL). The Q-switching element 6 is an ultrasonic transducer that applies RF power from the Q-switch driving unit 9 to the Q-switching element 6 to cause the laser resonator to be in a state of high loss laser oscillation. In addition, 'the laser output for excitation is applied to the laser medium 5, because the balance state of the thermal temperature distribution in the laser medium is formed before the laser oscillation is formed, so the control unit 50 will control the signal line 27 via the control signal line 27. The oscillation command is sent to the excitation semiconductor laser oscillator 46. The command signal for starting the laser oscillation operation process is issued from the control unit 50 by predicting the time 13 at which the processing position of the object 20 reaches the condensing point of the corresponding condensing lens 18. First, since the laser light in the vicinity of the de-excitation wavelength for lowering the upper-level inversion distribution density excited thereby is applied, the oscillation command is transmitted to the de-excitation laser oscillator 41 via the control signal line 40. The oscillation command is emitted by the trigger signal shown in FIG. 4(a), and the detonation laser oscillation is started at times t1, t5, and t9 by the falling edge of the trigger signal as shown in (d). The de-excited laser light is aimed by the aiming lens 42 and becomes parallel, enters the polarized beam splitter 44, and is irradiated to the laser medium 5 by the collecting lens 3. In the laser medium 5, as shown by the dotted line level in FIG. 4(e), the pre-excitation semiconductor laser oscillator 46 is parallelized by the aiming lens 43 so as to be coaxial by the polarized beam superimposer 44. The excitation of the laser beam is excited to produce an increase in the crystallization temperature of the energy of the upward energy level. Here, since the laser wavelength for demagnetization is irradiated to the phase crystallization space, light is emitted from the upper level to the lower level at a wavelength different from the fundamental wavelength of the laser vibration. Since the light does not satisfy the condition of becoming a sufficient oscillation of the laser resonator, the loss is larger, and the laser oscillation is not reached until -16-200810301. The density of the energy level above the accumulated energy level can be reduced as shown in Fig. 4(e) U L -1. The de-excitation is performed during a specific time t1 - t2, and then only the de-excitation laser is excited between t2-t3, and an excitation (UL-2) for inverting the distribution at the upper level is performed. Then, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the driving RF power for the Q-switching element 6 is interrupted at t3-t4 to be in a transmissive (on) state, and the Q-switching pulse 3 3 G is oscillated. Here, the excitation density of the upper level decreases with the laser oscillation (UL-3). At this time, the Q-switch pulse output 33G corresponds to the energy accumulated in the laser medium 5 between time t2-t3 and radiates the pulse energy (f) Q 〇 33G. After the oscillation of the Q-switch pulse, the Q switch is again turned off (closed) from time t4, and RF power is applied to the Q switching element 6. The Q-switching pulse that oscillates between the times t3 and t4 at the time of the process processes the first processing target point. Then, the second object to be processed is also the same, and the timing of the Q-switch oscillation obtained from the position and the scanning speed is obtained, and DPL1 is continuously de-energized between times t5 and t6 according to the time relationship, and then executed. The laser excitation is performed between specific times t6-t7, and thereafter, the RF is turned off at time t7-t8 to oscillate the Q-switch pulse 33G. At this time, when the time t3-t7 and t7-tl 1 of the interval of the Q-switch pulse are changed, even if the time between the times t4-t5 and t8-t9 is different, the de-excitation process (d) is used. DPL1 is introduced into the pulse oscillation cycle of the Q-switch repeat operation, so the energy level of each of the accumulated upper levels from tl, t5, and t9 is reduced by the de-excitation laser. (f) The output energy of the Q-switch pulse output 33G shown in Q0 is set by the excitation energy after the de-excitation, so that the output that has no relationship with the pulse frequency is equalized. Therefore, by using the equalization pulse output, it is possible to precisely perform processing of the object to be processed irrespective of the laser irradiation timing. The Q switch action after the 3rd is a repetition of the same process. In the embodiment of the above-described figure, as shown in Fig. 4 (shown as 〇, the laser output PL for excitation is operated with low intensity. However, even if the output is de-excited or the oscillation is stopped or the output is low, In the above description, the excitation laser output PL is modulated to promote the de-excitation speed. In the above description, the non-linear optical element 31 is not required to use the wavelength of the fundamental wave for the processing wavelength, but the second highest is used. In the case of harmonics, the well-known non-linear optical element is set to satisfy the phase integration condition with respect to the fundamental wave beam. Accordingly, the Q-switch pulse is converted to the second high harmonic and is emitted from the output mirror 7'. The wavelength filter 32 removes the ASE component emitted by the stimulus by the fundamental wave component or the depolarization wavelength component of the Q-switch pulse mixed in the second harmonic output (ASE = Amplified Spontaneous Emission, amplified natural radiation) In the light, the mixed component 33 1R is introduced into the beam absorber 34, and the beam amplifier 15 is aimed only at the second harmonic component 3 3 G, and is reflected by the mirror 16 to collect light. The mirror 18 is formed into a fine point, and is irradiated to the object to be processed, and can be processed. In order to cause the nonlinear optical element 31 to have a nonlinear effect, the input light must be polarized. When the polarizing element is included in the resonator, it must be Further, the optical path is provided with a polarizing means such as a polarizer. The necessity of the polarizing means shown here is the same when the non-linear optical element is provided in the present invention. The second harmonic component of the fundamental wavelength is linearly optical. Element-18- 200810301 When the wavelength is converted and used for processing, even if the continuous oscillation component is mixed with the fundamental wave, the Q-switch component of the second harmonic component that is wavelength-converted only achieves high conversion efficiency. The component is output as the second harmonic. Even if the continuous wave component is not wavelength-converted, it is emitted on the same axis as the high harmonic, and the wavelength filter can be used to remove the high harmonics. Therefore, it can be completely The continuous component is deleted. By passing through the nonlinear optical element 31 1, the fundamental wave of the oscillation suppression energy in the resonator to the Q switching element 6 can be greatly alleviated. In the case where the fundamental wave is used in the past, the RF power driven by the Q-switching element for increasing the suppression energy of the Q-switching element is increased in such a manner that the driving power of the Q-switching element does not output a continuous output component. The continuous oscillation is suppressed, or after the continuous component is output, as described in the prior art, it must be deleted by the AOM. In the former case, since the maximum power of the RF circuit of the Q-switch driving unit 9 is increased, most of them are generated. The reliability is lowered by heat generation, and the maximum repetition rate is limited as the load is increased for the high-repetition RF modulation element, and the power consumption of the Q-switch converter is increased to cause peeling at the joint portion with the refractive medium of the inverter. Or a problem such as cracking of the transducer for ultrasonic vibration occurs. In the latter case, since the AOM having a high refractive index separating the Q-switch pulse component and the continuous oscillation component is provided, the AOM converter requires high RF power driving, resulting in design limitations related to the RF driver such as the Q switching element 6. Shortcomings. [Embodiment 2] Embodiment 2 is an example in which a continuous output component and a Q-switch -19-200810301 pulse interaction occur in fundamental wave oscillation. Use the composition of Figure 3. Fig. 6 is a view for explaining the operation of this embodiment. The output of the excitation semiconductor laser oscillator 46 is generated in advance, and the laser medium 5 is excited to reduce the RF power of the Q switching element 6 during the period to reduce the RF power to a level at which the required energy accumulation level can be suppressed. To the extent that there is low refractive energy, RF 1 of (b) is set to a lower level. Therefore, when the excitation energy is accumulated, the laser starts to continuously oscillate over the suppression of the Q switching element 6, and outputs the continuous low output LP as shown in (f) Q0. Then, (d) DPL1 is generated between the tl-t2 of DPL and de-excited, and the accumulated energy is radiated as ASE, as shown in (e) UL-N UL-1. Level of energy. During this period, the semiconductor laser for excitation is stopped or blocked as in the case of 〇PL 11 -t2, and the oscillation command of the laser for de-excitation is the same as that of the first embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6(a). The trigger signal is emitted. The self-excited semiconductor laser re-illuminates the excitation light between t2-t3 to excite the laser medium to accumulate the required excitation level energy (UL-2). Thereafter, the Q switch is stopped at t3. The RF application of element 6 causes the Q switch pulse to oscillate, transmitting Q switch pulse 33G (UL-3). Next, RF 1 power is applied to Q switch element 6 and laser medium 5 is self-excited by semiconductor laser oscillator 46. Excitation light, continuous oscillation component LP oscillation. Thereafter, de-excitation laser irradiation is performed at a required timing t5-t6 to excite the excitation semiconductor laser at a specific time (t6-t7), and then, repetition of the oscillation Q-switch pulse is performed. Even if a continuous output occurs in the cycle, the conversion efficiency in the nonlinear optical element 31 is proportional to the square of the power, so the continuous output -20-200810301 conversion efficiency is lower than the Q-switch pulse due to the overwhelming Basic wave The non-linear optical element 31 is separated by the wavelength filter 32, and the beam absorber 34 is heated and can be removed. Therefore, only the conversion component of the Q-switch pulse from the harmonic component is irradiated to the object to be processed, and the process is performed. Processing. 11 -12, t 5 -16 and 19 -11 0 during the de-excitation period may also become zero. When it becomes zero, the laser for de-excitation can be omitted, so even if it is not from the 3rd diagram and the laser for de-excitation The functions of the transmitter 4 1 , the control signal line 40 , the aiming lens 42 , the polarization beam superimposer 44 , and the laser oscillator control in the laser device control unit 50 may also be related to the Q switching element 6 . When RF power is applied, the oscillation is set to a level that cannot be suppressed at all, and when the number of inversions of the upper level is suppressed, the state of UL'-N in Fig. 6(g) is used, especially in Fig. 6 (g). (h) and (i) indicate the operation when the de-excitation time t1 - t2, t5 - t6, and t9 - t10 are 0. At this time, there is a low peak at any interval from low repetition to high repetition operation. The characteristic of the Q switch. At this time, the energy of the upper level is represented by Fig. 6 (g). It is equivalent to Fig. 6 (f The time of the oscillation output is as shown in Fig. 6(h). The continuous leakage component LP' is oscillated due to the loss due to the suppression energy of the Q switch, and continues to the timing of the Q-switch pulse oscillation command t3, t7, 11 1 Herein, when the RF power is turned off, 33G of the low-peak 値Q switching pulse (h)Q' is obtained by the residual gain suppressed by the RF power application. By converting the wavelength into a high-polar optical element Harmonic, the Q-switch output of the second harmonic is obtained (i) 33G' of QSHG. When this method is used, the high repetition rate of the leakage oscillation component LP does not occur, and the output is -21 - 200810301. The Q switch pulse 3 3 G and the second harmonic output 3 3 G ' are obtained. Therefore, it has nothing to do with the pulse repetition rate, and obtains a stable high-harmonic Q-switching pulse which has no relationship with the pulse interval. [Example 3]

Figure 7 shows the composition. The same explanation as in Fig. 1 is omitted. However, in Fig. 7, a non-linear optical element 3 1 is added, and an output mirror 7' having a high reflectance for a fundamental wave and a high transmittance for a second high harmonic is used. Figure 8 shows the action of this situation. (a) is the excitation laser power. Here, it is not a continuous wave but a modulated person. (b) is the trigger signal. The interval between the trigger signals ti-t2, t2-t3, and t3-t4 is not necessarily the same. By the trigger signal (in this case, the rising edge), as shown in (c), the oscillation suppression signal RF 1 is applied to the Q switching element 6. Accordingly, since the RF 1 application time is constant due to the accumulation of energy in the laser medium, the interval between the trigger signals is not constant, and the energy stored in the laser medium is constant. When RF1 is applied, as shown in (d), although the Q-switch pulse is generated, since the accumulated energy is constant, the Q-switch pulse whose energy is constant can be obtained. The pulse is thus harmonically converted by the nonlinear optical element 31, and the Q-switched pulse 3 3 G ' is irradiated to the processed object 20 as shown in (e), but the energy of each pulse being irradiated is maintained. for sure. In this way, in the embodiment, the RF is applied to the Q-switching element 6 for a certain period of time corresponding to the trigger signal, so that the energy accumulation time toward the laser medium 5 becomes constant, so that the uniform Q -22-200810301 switch can be obtained. The effect of the pulse. Furthermore, since the laser crystal is fixed, the beam characteristics can be kept constant. In this embodiment, a continuous wave occurs between the PWM switching pulses 3 3 G by exciting the laser power. The nonlinearity of nonlinear optical components is very low due to the weak power of the original high-frequency harmonics. Therefore, the fundamental wave component is only the non-linear light. The fundamental wave is not irradiated to the processed object 20 by the wavelength. [Embodiment 4] Embodiment 4 is such that the energy is made constant by having a loss switching pulse in the resonator. For and! In this case, the action at this time is shown in Fig. 9. For example, the excitation laser power is continuously operated. Further, as the Q-switching element 6 causes the energy to accumulate in the RF signal for the laser medium. As shown in Fig. 9(b), t2, t2-t3, t3-t4, and t4_t5 are arbitrary. For the trigger generated, the input of the trigger pulse (the first edge) is such that the intensity of the oscillation suppression RF signal is changed to DRF1, DRF2, DRF3, and the like. At this time, the interval from the previous trigger (for example, for DRF4 and 3-t4 and t4-t5), and the change to the trigger interval is longer. When the input to the Q-switching element 6 = becomes weak, as shown in (d), the heat generated by the Q 共振 of the resonator becomes a change method, and as described above, the continuous wave transform is performed to the learning element 3 1 The filter 32 is issued and the Q is generated in the same state as shown in Fig. 9 (a), as shown in Fig. 9 (c), so the interval between the oscillations is applied 11 - so arbitrary At the time of the timing diagram 9, a certain time modulation variable is applied for the decrease in the intensity of the RF signal of the smaller RF signal 1 depending on the DRF5. Accordingly, the energy accumulated in the laser medium 5 is released -23-200810301, and as shown in (e), the Q switch pulse 3 0G is generated. However, when a pulse is generated, unlike other embodiments where the regular RF signal is zero, Q値 does not rise sufficiently when the RF signal is weak but not zero. Therefore, when the RF signal is weak but not zero, it oscillates in a state where there is a certain loss in the laser resonator. At this time, the energy of the generated Q-switch pulse is determined by the accumulated energy in the laser medium and the Q値 in the resonator. Therefore, if the former is large, if the latter is controlled, the energy of generating the pulse can be made constant. That is, since the accumulated energy in the laser medium 5 is large since the interval of the previous trigger is long, when the modulation degree of the RF signal is reduced, the Q値 of the resonator is reduced, and the loss is increased to generate a pulse. A Q-switch pulse with a certain energy is generated. In order to generate a Q-switch pulse of a certain energy, a table indicating the modulation of the RF signal at the time interval of the trigger is created, and the above-described method can be implemented by being attached to the laser control device 50 in Fig. 7. The interval between the self-triggering pulses is read by the reference table, and the specific RF variable is supplied to the Q switching element 6 by the control of the laser device 50. Further, since the setting of the RF variable supplied to the Q element corresponding to the trigger time interval is changed, it is not a certain energy as shown in the present embodiment, and any energy can be supplied per pulse. In the present embodiment, in addition to the energy of generating a certain Q-switch pulse, since the Q 提升 is increased only when the laser is output, the excitation power can be utilized to the utmost, and the energy utilization efficiency is high. Figure 10 is a diagram in which the composition of the second harmonic (SFG) resonator is sealed. The case of -24-200810301 is different from the configuration shown in Figs. 3 and 7. In the figure, as in the configuration of Fig. 7, although the excitation laser oscillator 41 is not provided, the configuration of the second harmonic resonator of the first drawing is as shown in Fig. 3, Of course, it can also be applied to a configuration having a laser oscillator 41 for de-excitation. The point of using the non-linear optical element 31 is in common with Fig. 3 or Fig. 7. Further, it has a terminal mirror 4' having a total reflection characteristic for the fundamental wave and the second harmonic. This configuration has an advantage of improving the conversion efficiency by the fundamental wave to and from the nonlinear optical element 31. In the above embodiments, it is known that the known wavelength conversion technique can be used, that is, the wavelength converted from the fundamental wave becomes the second harmonic by the nonlinear optical element, and the third harmonic and the fourth highest are also obtained. Harmonic or the 5th harmonic. The present invention is different from the conventional laser oscillation method in which the continuous oscillation output and the Q-switch oscillation in the output of the fundamental wave wavelength are mixed, and the output of the fundamental wave to the high harmonic can be used to oscillate only the Q-switch pulse. The Q-switch pulse output can be equalized regardless of the pulse repetition period. Therefore, there is a configuration in which a removing device that does not require continuous oscillation output can be realized. Furthermore, by shifting to high harmonics, even if the continuous components are mixed in the fundamental wave, only the Q-switched pulse can be used in the difference in conversion efficiency and the wavelength filter action. Even when any of the high harmonic output is used when the fundamental wave is used, only the short pulse generated by the Q switch is irradiated due to the relative high-speed scanning at the time of scanning the object to be processed, It does not cause irradiation by continuous components, so it does not cause thermal effects. It is also possible to simplify the circuit by reducing the RF circuit output power of the Q-switch -25- 200810301 driver in the high-repetition action domain. Moreover, although the laser medium is represented by coaxial excitation by a high mirror, the excitation of the laser medium can also be used as a side excitation other than the laser diode excitation, lamp excitation, or the like. The invention was modified and implemented. Although the laser medium is described by the crystal added by Nd, it can be made into a light by using an optical waveguide (porous optical fiber) having a laser active material having a central portion as a waveguide in a plurality of holes around the core in the axial direction. The medium is used to reduce the temperature variation in the laser medium caused by the temperature distribution in the laser medium, which causes the influence of the refractive index fluctuation, and can improve the stability of the laser oscillation mode. Several embodiments of the invention have been described above. It is to be understood that modifications may be made without departing from the technical spirit of the invention described in the claims. [Industrial Applicability] As an example of use of the present invention, it is applicable to adjustment of circuit elements, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and the like of a wafer in which a semiconductor memory is cut, and LCD display panel correction processing, PDP The correction processing of the display device and the function adjustment of the circuit board, and the laser precision machining of the other semiconductor substrates can improve the manufacturing yield of the electronic component by increasing the processing width and reducing the processing loss.
