Annealing<br />

Annealing treatments are also available. <strong>CoorsTek</strong> offers annealing treatments to modify the microstructure<br />

of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in a laser drilled hole (reference photos immediately<br />

below) and/or to relieve any residual substrate stresses. The annealed microstructure provides<br />

an enhanced surface for metallization, thus improving via metal adhesion. The annealing process<br />

also increases the breaking force required for singulation of laser scribed <strong>substrates</strong>. Laser scribing<br />

parameters will be adjusted to result in desired singulation (as shown in the table on page 8).<br />

Lasered Edge Treatments<br />

<strong>CoorsTek</strong> offers a variety of edge finishing treatments: laser scribed, laser scribed and brushed,<br />

SilkEdge <strong>substrates</strong>, SmoothEdge <strong>substrates</strong>, and laser-machined <strong>substrates</strong>. Contact your<br />

<strong>CoorsTek</strong> sales representative for availability of specific edge fi nishing treatments. Note: Laser<br />

edge treatment availability is geometry dependent.<br />
