Laser Photonics Corporation, a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, and its recently acquired subsidiary, Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS Laser), announced the expansion of their Laser Wafer Marking technology research and development program.
High-precision Laser Wafer Marking technologies are designed for engraving serial numbers and other critical information on silicon and compounds used in the semiconductor industry.
“By integrating CMS Laser’s expertise with our advanced R&D initiatives, we are committed to providing chip manufacturers with the most sophisticated laser wafer processing systems,” said John Armstrong, Executive Vice President of LPC. “We are ready to support fabs in the United States and abroad amidst the ever-growing demand for chips and the regulatory stimulation of the sector.”
CMS Laser’s cutting-edge laser marking technology is designed with custom configurations for each client, including the laser type, product transport and handling, machine vision, and fume extraction. Engineers can tailor the process to accommodate virtually all specific needs, including integrating seamlessly with existing databases, connecting to sophisticated Surface Mount Technology (SMT) lines, incorporating external stackers and destackers, adopting various flipping configurations, or robotics integration.
CMS Laser prides itself on working with the end user to create a solution that integrates into their manufacturing environment and accepts engineering challenges that other laser system companies turn down.
Developed to meet the most demanding requirements, CMS Laser’s laser marking systems deliver unrivaled performance, making them an indispensable asset in advanced wafer processing. Chip manufacturers can rely on these innovative systems to enhance production, with precision, speed, and adaptability providing a remarkable competitive edge, ensuring accurate, uniform results in every batch.

The Chemical Connection: Through-glass Vias in Glass Substrates
06/24/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThis month’s theme is vias and how best to ensure via quality and reliability. I don’t have much expertise in this process area or much to contribute that most of you don’t already know. However, I’ve recently become peripherally involved in a via technology that may be of more than academic interest to some of us. It entails putting vias in a material not usually associated with PCB manufacturing: through-glass vias (TGVs) in glass substrates.
The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.
