This scribing system from Oxford Lasers looks set to help manufacturers of blue laser diodes and LEDs. Using a copper vapour laser, it improves the way in which sapphire-based semiconductor wafers cleave, which should boost device yields. Inset: the laser produces a deeper cut than a diamond tool, which makes the cleaving process more predictable. (Credit: Oxford Lasers) |
