Summary: This paper presents a new method for single-step, full-depth cutting of silicon wafer sheets using an 800 nm wavelength femtosecond-pulse laser. By introducing parallel scan lines, through-cut is achieved with excellent sidewall full area roughness. Increasing overscan, pulse energy, or number of parallel scan lines can improve sidewall surface roughness and kerf edge straightness. The effects of beam polarization and cutting speed on cutting quality are compared and discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of laser-generated nanoparticles in femtosecond laser machining under three different charge conditions. The research found that both machining under a floating potential and under an applied field were effective for collecting nanoparticles, with the applied field condition leading to the strongest confinement of the nanoparticle plume. The study concludes that machining under a floating potential or an applied field is a promising setup for removing and collecting nanoparticles in a waste-free laser process design.

Summary: This study investigates the formation of micro/nanostructured layers on silicon wafers of various conductivity types, highlighting the crucial role of lasers in stimulating etching reactions and controlling silicon surface structures in photochemical and photoelectrochemical etching processes. Different nanostructures were synthesized by photochemical etching using lasers of varying wavelengths, with optimal porosity achieved for different types of silicon. Thermal distribution profiles show a rise in surface temperature up to 2000 degrees Celsius when short laser pulses of high energy are used, as estimated by COMSOL multiphysics software.

Summary: In order to combat counterfeit products in the market, the study of product traceability and anti-counterfeiting marking technology is imperative. This paper proposes the use of femtosecond laser to mark a depth-of-field (DOF) 3D code on the surface of cemented carbide, improving the replication difficulty and information storage capacity. The recognition and information reading of the DOF 3D code are studied, and the correctness and reliability of information acquisition are tested.

Summary: Germanium selenide (GeSe) thin films were fabricated using femtosecond pulsed-laser deposition (fs-PLD) at different substrate temperatures. The films' morphology and optical properties were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results showed that films deposited below 400 degrees C were amorphous Ge-Se, while those grown at 400 degrees C and above exhibited crystallized structures. Furthermore, the growth rate of the films decreased with increasing substrate temperature. The fs-PLD process has potential for fabricating high-quality Ge-Se thin films, which can be used in modern optoelectronic devices for various applications.
