Patent number: 6214523Abstract: A method for serializing ceramic substrates in which a laser is used to remove unfired paste material from an unfired ceramic substrate. The paste material is removed by exposing the unwanted paste material to laser radiation in a programmed sequence of x and y coordinate moves. The laser radiation removes the unwanted paste material, leaving the identifying characters intact. The identifying characters can be used for part identification and traceability.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 1998Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chris T. Kapogiannis, John R. Lankard, Jr., Gerald H. Leino, Thomas J. VanDuynhoven
