Laser Micromachining in a Reactive Atmosphere. The drilling of deep holes in silicon by a laser beam is aided by conducting the operation in a reactive atmosphere. The atmosphere reacts with material ejected from the hole and converts the material to a gas that flows away from the work area. The hole is cleaner and more sharply defined, and debris do not spatter the surface of the work. 1, record 7, English, - laser%20micromachining
