It is used in situations where the diameter of the via to be cut is larger than the laser beam diameter. This locus is the center of the via to be drilled. Trepanning is the process in which a laser beam is guided around a predefined locus. How do you make micro-holes using lasers? Multi-tasking: Laser machines used for drilling can also be used for other manufacturing processes like welding, cutting, etc.A typical microvia has an aspect ratio of 0.75:1. Since lasers can create holes with very small diameters, they provide a high aspect ratio. It is the ratio between the drilled depth and the diameter of the hole. High aspect ratio: One of the most important parameters of a drilled hole on a circuit board is the aspect ratio.This helps to create different hole shapes and offers high accuracy. Precise control: We can control the beam intensity, heat output, and duration of the laser beam.Non-contact process: Laser drilling is a non-contact process and hence the damage induced on the material by drilling vibration is eliminated.

The advantages of using lasers are listed below:

What are the advantages of laser drilling? Hence, laser drilling is recommended for drilling microvias. In the case of an unreinforced dielectric (with no glass), it is possible to drill 1-mil vias using lasers. Lasers can drill 2.5 to 3-mil vias on a thin flat glass reinforcement.
