Laser substrate heater 

1.Technical Principle

The Laser Substrate Heater uses a high-energy laser beam to selectively heat specific regions of the substrate, achieving rapid temperature increase and precise temperature control. Its core mechanisms include:

  • Directional Energy Input: The laser beam (wavelength 900-1064 nm) is focused onto the substrate surface (spot size 50-500 μm), with an energy density reaching 10⁵-10⁶ W/cm², enabling local temperature to rise to 300-1000°C within milliseconds;
  • Non-Contact Heating: Avoids overall substrate temperature rise caused by traditional heat conduction, reducing thermal stress and warpage (<5 μm);
  • Dynamic Temperature Control System: Combines infrared temperature measurement (accuracy ±0.5°C) with PID closed-loop feedback to achieve real-time temperature control with ±1°C.

3. Typical Application Scenarios

① Semiconductor Packaging

  • TCB Bonding: Laser local heating of the substrate (e.g., kovar alloy) combined with dynamic alignment technology enables chip interconnection with 10μm pitch, reducing thermal damage by 90%;
  • 3D Integration: Laser heating of copper pillar bumps facilitates direct copper-copper bonding, reducing interfacial thermal resistance to <0.5°C·mm²/W.

② Metal Additive Manufacturing

  • Powder Bed Fusion: A 9000W laser performs real-time heating of current layer powder (up to 1000°C), increasing the density of refractory materials such as titanium alloys and tungsten to 99.5%;
  • Residual Stress Control: A graded cooling strategy (5°C/s → ambient temperature) suppresses part cracking, increasing fatigue life by 3 times.

③ New Energy & Electronic Manufacturing

  • Battery Electrode Drying: Laser rapid curing of lithium battery cathode coatings (heating up to 400°C in 15 seconds), reducing energy consumption by 80%;
  • PCB Thermal Management: Local heating of heat-dissipating substrates (e.g., aluminum nitride ceramics), increasing thermal conductivity to 250 W/m·K.

4. Future Trends

① Ultrafast Heating: Femtosecond laser (pulse width <100 fs) achieves picosecond-level temperature rise, enabling non-destructive bonding of ultra-thin chips (<10 μm);

② Green Manufacturing: Developing green lasers (532 nm) to reduce energy consumption, integrating with lead-free soldering processes to comply with RoHS standards;

③ Intelligent Upgrade: AI real-time optimization of heating parameters (response time <1 ms), defect rate reduced to <0.01%.
