Patent number: 8278594Abstract: A method and an apparatus for perforating a printed circuit board are provided so that the processing efficiency and the board densification can be improved. In test processing, a conductor layer 50i is irradiated with a pulsed laser beam 4a whose energy density is set at a value high enough to process the conductor layer 50i while emission 23a from a processed portion is monitored. Thus, the number of pulses of irradiation required for processing a window in the conductor layer 50i is obtained. An insulating layer 51i is irradiated with a pulsed laser beam 5a whose energy density is set at a value high enough to process the insulating layer 51i but low enough not to process a conductor layer 50i+1 under the insulating layer 51i.

Patent number: 7521650Abstract: A laser machining apparatus in which three or more beam splits are made incident on one machining lens so that high speed machining can be achieved, and the machining quality (shapes, dimensions, accuracy and straightness of machined holes) is excellent. The optical paths of beams A and B having the same polarization direction are aligned almost in one and the same direction by a total reflection/transmission type beam combining means 31c using a difference in incident angle. After that, the optical paths of the beams A and B and the optical path of a beam C different in polarization direction therefrom are aligned almost in one and the same direction by a polarizing type beam combining means 32. Then, the beams A, B and C are made incident on a machining lens 45.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2004Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Hitachi Via Mechanics, Ltd.Inventors: Sadao Mori, Hiroyuki Sugawara, Hiroshi Aoyama

Patent number: 7522262Abstract: A method for determining a position of a reference point in which there is no influence of aberration of a camera lens or the like, but an error caused by a failure in shape of an alignment mark can be reduced. An alignment mark consisting of a plurality of pattern portions (and background portions) centering at a design reference point is provided in advance. Positions of centers of border lines of the patterns are calculated. Obtained coordinate values of the centers are averaged in each axial direction. The averaged coordinate values are regarded as coordinate values of a machining reference point. Thus, even when a defect occurs in any pattern portion, an error caused by the defect is reduced so that the accuracy in machining can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Hitachi Via Mechanics Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Sugawara, Takeshi Goto, Kounosuke Kitamura, Hiroshi Aoyama
