Photoacoustic Study Of Krf Laser Heating Of Si: Implications For Laser Particle Removal, Sergey I. Kudryashov, Susan D. Allen Nov 2002

Photoacoustic Study Of Krf Laser Heating Of Si: Implications For Laser Particle Removal, Sergey I. Kudryashov, Susan D. Allen

Mechanical Engineering - Daytona Beach

A photoacoustic study of KrF laser heating of Si has revealed that the dominant mechanism of acoustic generation is thermoacoustic with a considerable contribution from the concentration-deformation mechanism at laser fluences below the Si melting threshold of 0.5 J/cm 2. Upon Si melting the contraction of the molten material contributes significantly to acoustic generation. At fluences above 1.4 J/cm 2 laser ablation of the molten layer enhances the amplitude of the compression pulse and diminishes that of the rarefaction pulse. The results of photoacoustic measurements allow optimization of experimental conditions for dry laser particle removal.

Removal Versus Ablation In Krf Dry Laser Cleaning Of Polystyrene Particles From Silicon, Sergey I. Kudryashov, Susan D. Allen Nov 2002

Removal Versus Ablation In Krf Dry Laser Cleaning Of Polystyrene Particles From Silicon, Sergey I. Kudryashov, Susan D. Allen

Mechanical Engineering - Daytona Beach

Direct absorption and melting of 0.2, 0.5 and 1.1 μm polystyrene particles on a Si substrate irradiated by 248 nm excimer laser radiation was found to contribute to their dry laser removal via a "hopping" mechanism at cleaning thresholds of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.16 J/cm 2, respectively. Ablation of these particles, which starts near the beginning of substrate deceleration at fluences above 0.4-0.5 J/cm 2, suppresses particle removal due to ablative recoil momentum. At fluences above a second cleaning threshold of 0.7 J/cm 2 particles are completely evaporated without any visible surface damage of the Si substrate.

The Model Coupling Executable Library (MCEL), developed at the University of Southern Mississippi's Center of Higher Learning, has been successfully used to couple the Coupled Ocean/Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and the ocean wave model WAVEWATCH. An example of its application is shown for Hurricane Gordon, showing that two-way coupling results affects boundary layer physics differently than one-way coupling --- in this case, resulting in larger o z and, consequently, larger surface fluxes and a more intense hurricane. However, since analyzing MCEL is difficult because the wave physics is inaccurate, improvements to the wave algorithms are also part of the …
