Advanced Ceramics Laser Processing System

Alumina, aluminum nitride, zirconia, silicon nitride and LTCC/HTCC substrates power the electronics, medical and energy industries — and their hardness and thermal sensitivity make conventional machining slow, chip-prone, and hard to hold to tolerance.

Processing Challenges

Why Advanced Ceramics Need a Dedicated Laser Process

High hardness and abrasiveness

Alumina and zirconia wear through mechanical tooling quickly, driving up tool cost and introducing inconsistent edge quality as tools degrade mid-run.

Thermal shock sensitivity

Aluminum nitride and silicon nitride conduct and store heat differently across their structure, so uneven heat input during processing can trigger microcracking or delamination.

Fine feature requirements

Electronic substrates and LTCC/HTCC packages call for via arrays and slots at scales where mechanical drilling and dicing saws struggle to hold position and avoid chipping.

Multilayer structure integrity

Multilayer ceramic packages combine conductive and dielectric layers with different responses to heat and mechanical stress, so a process tuned for one layer can damage the next.

Recommended Process Sequence

Chanxan Laser Micro Drilling Via Array Simulation
  • Ceramic Cutting

    Substrates and green-state or sintered ceramic sheets are cut to outline with controlled heat input, keeping edge chipping and micro-fracture within tight limits.

  • Via Drilling

    Dense via arrays for electrical interconnects are drilled at fine pitch with consistent hole taper, supporting high-density substrate and package designs.

  • Slotting

    Slots and cavities for component mounting or thermal relief are machined without inducing the stress concentrations that lead to later-stage cracking.

  • Surface Texturing

    Controlled texturing improves adhesion for metallization or bonding layers on power electronics and substrate surfaces.

  • Precision Marking

    Permanent identification and traceability codes are marked directly on the ceramic surface without affecting mechanical or electrical performance.
