Non-destructive laser dicing adapts concept of precise controlled heating in pair with localised cooling technique to create a temperature gradient, which will create thermal stress in the substrate, and the substrate will break once it reaches its fracture threshold. The crack propagates along the thermal gradient induced by the laser beam path, leading to complete clean separation of the substrate.
To deposit an AlOx passivation layer on the edges of the laser cut edges via ALD process, suitable for TOPCon cell applications.
