Latest Advances in Laser Drilling of VIA Holes
A strategic guide to navigate the tricky terrain of laser technology
Overview
This webinar covers the latest advances in laser drilling of VIA holes—critical for higher-bandwidth communication and compact device footprints. Presented by laser and motion control experts, it equips engineers and managers in semiconductor, photonics, optics, and medical device manufacturing with essential technical insights. Topics include common VIA materials and shapes, plus key challenges such as hole geometry and precision at high speeds.
Included topics:
• strategies to overcome these hurdles using fixed-optic configurations
• advanced motion control
• laser-to-motion synchronization
• real-world examples, including glass wafer drilling, show how these methods deliver measurable results. The session concludes with a look at emerging technologies—such as XL SCAN, 3D error correction, and hybrid piezo motion—that point toward faster, more accurate manufacturing in the future.
