Patent number: 11713271Abstract: A device for producing and removing an internal contour from a planar substrate comprising: a beam-producing- and beam-forming arrangement which is configured to perform: a contour definition step wherein a laser beam is guided over the substrate to produce a plurality of individual zones of internal damage in a substrate material along a contour line defining the internal contour; a crack deformation step, wherein the laser beam is guided over the substrate and produces a plurality of individual zones of internal damage in the substrate material to form a plurality of crack line portions that lead away from the contour line into the internal contour; and a material removal-step, wherein a laser beam directed towards the substrate surface that inscribes a removal line through a thickness of the substrate at the internal contour causes the internal contour to detach from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Corning Laser Technologies GmbHInventor: Rico Bohme

Patent number: 11345625Abstract: A method for the laser-based machining of a sheet-like substrate, in order to separate the substrate into multiple portions, in which the laser beam of a laser for machining the substrate is directed onto the latter, is characterized in that, with an optical arrangement positioned in the path of rays of the laser, an extended laser beam focal line, seen along the direction of the beam, is formed on the beam output side of the optical arrangement from the laser beam directed onto the latter, the substrate being positioned in relation to the laser beam focal line such that an induced absorption is produced in the material of the substrate in the interior of the substrate along an extended portion, seen in the direction of the beam, of the laser beam focal line, such that a material modification takes place in the material of the substrate along this extended portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Corning Laser Technologies GmbHInventors: Richard Grundmueller, Helmut Schillinger

Patent number: 11028003Abstract: A method for laser-based machining of a flat substrate, to separate the substrate into a plurality of sections, in which the laser beam of a laser is directed at the substrate using an optical arrangement, which is positioned in the beam path of the laser. The optical arrangement forms a laser beam focal line that is extended as viewed along the beam direction and the substrate is positioned relative to the laser beam focal line such that an induced absorption is produced in the material of the substrate along a section of the laser beam focal line that is extended as viewed in the beam direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2014Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: CORNING LASER TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Richard Grundmueller, Helmut Schillinger
