Mathematical simulation of the processes of two-beam laser controlled thermal-splitting of quartz glass by V. A. Emelyanov, E. B. Shershnev, S. I. Sokolov, A. N. Kupo

“…The simulation results show that with a bi-beam effect, the micromechanical stresses necessary for the formation of a microcrack are realized in shorter time intervals, both on the surface and in the depth of the material, which allows increasing the processing speed by up to 30 %. Strengthening control over the process of controlled thermal cracking can significantly reduce the percentage of defects and improve the quality of the resulting microeletronics products.…”
