High speeds and high flexibility are the significant advantages of laser technology when it comes to blind and holes drilling. As with cutting, micro-drilling has two separate laser processes: fusion drilling with pulsed lasers and external gas support, and melt ejection caused by vaporization, such as with q-switched solid-state lasers. Choosing the laser beam’s proper wavelength and power density, for nearly all solid materials such as metals, semiconductors, plastics, ceramics, diamonds can be laser-drilled. Various Techniques for Laser Drilling For selective roughening of surfaces for gluing and coating processes, pulse drilling of blind holes at a depth of some microns is used. Single-pulse methods may be used for through holes in small workpiece thicknesses. For thicker materials, percussion drilling is the first option and can be accomplished by applying several laser pulses with the appropriate depth. A combined drilling-cutting method or the multi-pass method is used...
