Abstract

See full text

A method and system for processing at least one microstructure which is part of a multi-material device containing a plurality of microstructures is provided. The at least one microstructure has a designated region for target material removal. The method includes generating a laser beam, modifying the laser beam to obtain a modified laser beam, and sequentially and relatively positioning the modified laser beam into at least one non-round spot having a predetermined non-round energy distribution on the designated region to remove the target material in the designated region. The predetermined non-round energy distribution covers an area of the designated region such that energy is more efficiently coupled into the designated region for the non-round energy distribution than energy coupled into the designated region for a round energy distribution covering the same area.
