Non-ablative texturing of silicon surface with a continuous wave fiber laser

Laser surface texturing based on ablation has been widely used, but hardly any reports can be found on non-ablative laser surface texturing. Silicon is highly transparent to the infrared wavelength of fiber laser (λ = 1090 nm) and thus regarded as an unsuitable tool for the purpose of surface textur...

description Laser surface texturing based on ablation has been widely used, but hardly any reports can be found on non-ablative laser surface texturing. Silicon is highly transparent to the infrared wavelength of fiber laser (λ = 1090 nm) and thus regarded as an unsuitable tool for the purpose of surface texturing. However, we succeeded in using a continuous wave fiber laser to produce regular arrays of sub-micron bumps on silicon surface. The approach is shown to be based on laser-induced oxidation of silicon.
