Abstract

A laser processing system has a platform to support a work piece to be processed, a laser to operate on the work piece, a laser control system to control operation of the laser, and a system control to provide instructions to the laser control system based upon at least the work piece to be processed. A method of manufacture includes identifying at least a portion of a structure to be laser processed, creating a set of instructions to direct a laser to process the portion of the structure, operating the laser in accordance with the set of instructions to laser process the portion of the structure, measuring at least one of an electrical characteristic or a mechanical characteristic to obtain an actual electrical characteristic value, comparing the actual value to a target value to determine if further processing is needed, if further processing is needed, automatically adjusting operation of the laser to reprocess the portion of the structure, and repeating the measuring, comparing and adjusting until the actual value matches the target value within a given tolerance.
