Method for producing a trench structure in a polymer substrate

In order to produce a trench structure having steep sidewalls free of residues in an, in particular, glass-fiber-reinforced substrate, the substrate is provided with a conformal mask having cutouts corresponding to the trench structure to be produced. In this case, the laser beam is guided over the...

Zusammenfassung:In order to produce a trench structure having steep sidewalls free of residues in an, in particular, glass-fiber-reinforced substrate, the substrate is provided with a conformal mask having cutouts corresponding to the trench structure to be produced. In this case, the laser beam is guided over the cutouts of the mask in such a way that the low-energy edge regions of the laser beam are shielded and that proportion of the laser beam which impinges on the polymer surface, at each point, has an energy density above a threshold at which the substrate material including a glass fiber reinforcement that is possibly present is completely removed.
