An apparatus for substrate treatment by means of laser radiation includes a rotating polygonal mirror by which at least one incident laser beam is reflected and is pivotable across an arrangement of converging lenses which lie next to one another and which are arranged at a spacing from the substrate corresponding precisely or approximately to their focal lengths. The rotating polygonal mirror is divided into at least two regions having a different number of facets and is adjustable such that different regions can be introduced into the beam path of the laser radiation and accordingly different sweep angles or fan angles of the laser beam reflected by the rotating polygonal mirror can be set.

Device for substrate treatment by means of laser radiation

A device for treating a substrate with laser radiation is described. The device has a rotating polygon mirror with N reflecting surfaces which are used to direct a laser beam via a system of converting focusing lenses, whereby the focal planes of the lenses are located on a surface of the substrate. Active reflecting surfaces direct the laser beam onto the converging lens system, and subsequently on the substrate, while inactive reflecting surfaces have a different inclination to the active reflecting surfaces in relation to the converging lens system. The laser beam from the surfaces is directed onto an absorber. The large number of inactive reflecting surface helps to reduce serial hole density. When the laser is switched on and off while the inactive reflecting surfaces are being scanned, further reduction of serial hole density can be achieved.
