Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for laser soft marking, especially for semiconductor wafers and devices, are provided. A laser-marking system for marking a semiconductor wafer to form a softmark on the wafer is provided. The system includes a laser subsystem for generating one or more laser pulses and a controller operatively connected to the laser subsystem. The controller sets a laser pulse width of the one or more laser pulses to selectively provide one or more laser output pulses having one or more set pulse widths that affect the depth of a softmark that is to be formed. The mark depth is substantially dependent on the one or more set pulse widths. The controller further sets a pulse energy of the one or more output pulses to selectively provide the one or more output pulses having a set total output energy that is within an acceptable process energy window for producing the softmark.
