Modifications of chemical structure and surface morphology in both the ablated area and halo were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the halo, nano-particles were observed with UV lasers, but submicro-particles were observed with the IR laser. The results of XPS analysis show that the C content increased, while the O content and N content decreased in the ablated area at all wavelengths, due to photo-thermal or photochemical decomposition of polyimide. These are substantiated by decreases of the carbonyl groups (C=O) at 288.2 eV and an increase of C-C groups at 284.8 eV. However, the N content in the ablated area with TEA CO 2 laser is higher than that with UV lasers. Also, amide groups were detected in the ablated area with TEA CO 2 laser and 355-nm Nd:YAG laser, but few with 248-nm excimer laser. Furthermore, in the halo, the O content with the 355-nm laser is higher than that of the 248-nm laser. Also, the shoulder of C 1s peak was observed at 288.5 eV in the halo due to oxidation of fragments erupted from the plume in air, but did not occur at the 248-nm wavelength. These findings indicate that the chemical structure and composition are highly dependent on laser wavelength. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10397/17687 | ISSN: | 0257-8972 | EISSN: | 1879-3347 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0257-8972(01)01295-6 |
