Simulation and Prediction in Laser Bending of Silicon Sheet
Simulation and Prediction in Laser Bending of Silicon Sheet
Abstract: The laser bending of single-crystal silicon sheet (0.2 mm in thickness) was investigated with JK701 Nd:YAG laser. The
models were developed to describe the beam characteristics of pulsed laser. In order to simulate the process of laser bending, the
FEM software ANSYS was used to predict the heat temperature and stress-strain fields. The periodic transformation of temperature
field and stress-strain distribution was analyzed during pulsed laser scanning silicon sheet. The results indicate that the mechanism of
pulsed laser bending silicon is a hybrid mechanism in silicon bending, rather than a simple mechanism of TGM or BM. This work
also gets silicon sheet bent after scanning 6 times with pulsed laser, and its bending angle is up to 6.5º. The simulation and prediction
results reach well agreement with the verifying experiments.
