Abstract
Mask-projection systems are widely used in excimer laser machining such as viahole drilling for printed circuit boards. However, a large part of the laser-beam power is lost on the mask, because the open areas of masks are ordinarily very small. A more efficient method is machining with holograms. CO2 or Nd:YAG laser machining with holograms that directly generate patterns has been reported since the 1970s.1-3 For excimer lasers, because of their low spatial coherence, it is difficult to generate patterns directly with holograms.
