Why isn't CYMI in the micromachining arena? *************************************** Lambda says new laser drills 100-micron holes for micromachining steps Semiconductor Business News (12/08/99, 05:01:05 PM EDT) Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- Lambda Physik today introduced a new diode pumped solid-state Nd:YAG laser for micromachining metal, ceramic and diamond materials. The company said the new Gator 2000 can drill holes smaller than 100 microns. Lambda is selling the new laser to semiconductor device makers needing to add micromachining steps to production capabilities. Other targeted industries include automotive and medical devices, said the Fort Lauderdale company. According to Lambda, the Gator 2000 has a 10 kHz repetition rate and 10 watt average output power (6 W at 532 nm and 4 W at 355 nm).
