Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The invention relates to a laser-free fragmentation micro-machining method, and relates to a method and a device for micro-machining by laser etching on materials such as glass and quartz. . [Prior Art] Microfluidic wafers are currently a commonly used tool in various biochemical reactions or nanoparticle fabrication. The preparation of the u-body [time] requires time, ^, 、, and special materials to prepare the substrate of the microfluidic channel. Using microfluidic wafers for various experiments, fabrications, or inspections can reduce sample and lake usage and ease control of the process. Become a technology that is very needed in the industry. Due to its excellent chemical and thermal stability, glass is a commonly used base material for the preparation of microfluidic wafers. During the biochemical reaction, the glass does not exhibit adsorption to proteins or other chemicals. It is more suitable for making microfluidic wafers than other materials suitable as substrates, such as Shixi and Nitrogen (_4). When fabricating a microfluidic wafer, it is desirable to form a microfluidic channel on the wafer substrate. The most common microchannel preparation method is the domain side. However, when performing the wet side, f performs multiple mask and lithography processes in accordance with the structure and characteristics of the desired channel. Not only is the procedure complicated, the time is long and the cost is increased. Micro-channel processing by laser lithography can overcome the problem of the upper dynasty, and can shorten the preparation _, and can be configured by lithography technology. However, the laser engraving on the glass substrate encountered two problems. _ is when the energy density of the laser beam often causes the glass substrate to break. On the other hand, if the intensity of the laser beam is insufficient, the groove_degree and aspect ratio (aspeetmti.) formed will be used for the micro-crossing. In order to solve the problem, it is suggested that (4) high-intensity lasers with nanoseconds (n__d) or hundreds of billions-seconds (f-femtoseconds) can achieve excellent trench structure. However, 5 1271252 all of the above techniques use ultraviolet laser or femtosecond laser systems, which are costly and difficult to process, and are well known. • In the past, there have been references to the micromachining of glass surfaces with lower cost carbon dioxide lasers. Composition. It is also stated that the BK7 glass is subjected to carbon dioxide laser micromachining, which will cause cracking. The literature also pointed out that the quality of the borax silicate glass (b〇r〇siHcate) and yttrium oxide glass can be obtained by minidrilling technology. The groove structure is made, but the carbon dioxide laser processing can obtain the crack-free groove. Structure, there is no relevant report. _ This is the current real shirt to provide a new type of f-micro-machining technology, which can form a crack-free groove structure on the glass substrate. At the same time, there must be a laser micromachining method, which can be micromachined on a glass substrate to form a trench structure having a desired pattern. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel laser micromachining method for forming a trench structure on a substrate of a material such as glass without causing chipping of the wire. The purpose of % # is also to provide a laser micromachining method which can be micromachined on a glass substrate to form a trench having a desired structure. It is also an object of providing a device for micromachining a substrate such as glass by the above method. According to the laser, there is no meal micro-addition 4 method, Wei Chunbei- Lai Wei Wei board; the substrate is placed on a working flat, a batch of hot plates, and the substrate is preheated to a predetermined temperature; The laser is required to be machined on the 2 substrate and the components of the __ are repeated for engraving. The straight ore is required to have the required high aspect ratio, structure and pattern. Among them, the carbon dioxide laser can form the pattern in a scanning manner or in a characterization manner. In addition, when repeating the composition of the current pattern, a laser beam of 1 1271252 or a laser beam may be applied to a position near the position of the fine laser beam. The present invention also discloses a t-setting in which the above-described micromachining can be performed on a glass substrate. Suitable substrates for use in the present invention may include various glass and quartz materials, particularly Borofl〇at® glass and pyrex8 glass. [Embodiment] The above objects and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description and drawings. The following is a laser-splitting micro-machining device and a micro-machining method thereof according to the present invention. Dijon shows the structural schematic of an example of the Benchering laser non-fragmented micro force porting device. The figure shows that the laser chipless micromachining device of the present invention mainly comprises a laser light source (1) and a working platform (2). Among them, the laser light source (1) can use any glass absorbable wavelength, between 8 micrometers and 2 micrometers. The commonly used laser wavelength is micrometer, but not limited to single-band laser. In the example towel of the present invention, a carbon dioxide laser is recommended, and the main reason is that the carbon dioxide laser light source is low in cost, easy to obtain, and the emitted beam energy is low, and the substrate is not transferred due to stress concentration or stress accumulation. Fragmentation. The work platform (2) can be any platform that can be uniaxial, biaxial, warp or multi-axis moving in the horizontal plane. In general, the numerically controlled master machine that is commercially visible is the applicable work platform. The cylinder plate (2) is provided with a heating plate (1), which can be heated and maintained by electric or other means to maintain and maintain the required temperature. A positioning jig (not shown) is provided on the heating plate (1) to fix the substrate (4). During micromachining, the substrate (4) can be preheated to the desired temperature by the heating plate (1) and continuously heated or cooled. The substrate (4) can also be moved by the red platform (2) to move its position or direction and longitude. The beam emitted by the laser source (1) is reflected by the mirror (5) and reaches the half lens (6). A part of the beam passes through the half lens (6) and is sent to the γ-axis sensor (9). After the other beams are reflected, the half lens 7 1271252 is reached. (7), a part of the beam passes through to reach the x-axis sensor 〇〇), and the remaining beams are reflected here, enter the focusing mirror (8), and after concentration, reach the substrate (4) for micromachining. The laser beam detected by the gamma-axis sensor (9) and the sensed-axis sensor (10) can generate control parameters for controlling the laser power. Applicable to the substrate (4) of the present invention, the material comprises quartz, glass or the like. In the case of glass, it may be Borofloat or Pyrex or other glass suitable for making microfluidic wafer substrates. The laser non-fragmentation micromachining method of the present invention will be described below by way of examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Example 1-3 A C〇2 laser was retrofitted with a commercially available laser source (Universai Laser (10)). The focal length of the focusing lens is changed from 38mm to 25mm to reduce the minimum beam size. The substrate is heated to 150-300 °C. The laser has a maximum intensity of 25W. The displacement speed of the laser beam is set to 〇6_/se (^6〇〇mm/sec. The direct beam of the incident beam on the substrate is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the substrate and the focusing lens. The pattern of micromachining is generally available from the market. The drawing software, such as CorelDraw or AutoCAD, has a beam scanning range of 308mm x 610mm. ^ The substrate of Example 1 is made of quartz, supplied by General Electric Company (GE214), with a melting point of 1,683 C and an annealing temperature of 1. 215 ° C, thickness lmm. The substrate of Example 2 is B〇r〇float, supplied by Schott, the thickness is 7.7mm, the composition is 81% & 〇2, 13% b2 〇 3, 4% ν^〇, 2/〇Α12〇3. The substrate of Example 3 is pyrex, supplied by c〇ming, with a thickness of 〇5诵, and its composition is 80% SA ' 13·0%Β2Ο3, 4.0% Na2O, 2·3%Α1203 and 0.1% trace impurities. The annealing temperature of both glasses is 560 ° C. The two substrates are micromachined by the above method to describe the micro-grooves. The 8 1271252 section is observed by electron microscope. And observe the surface structure by atomic force microscope. Figure 2 (a) - (d) shows the preparation of example w A cross-sectional view of the plate, wherein (a) a cross-sectional photograph of the quartz substrate (Example 丨) is a photograph of the protrusion on both sides of the groove. (e) a cross-sectional photograph of the glass substrate, (4) a p (four) glass break Photograph. As shown in the photo in Figure 2, the quartz substrate has a smooth surface and flawless surface after micromachining, but the micro-grooves produce a small amount of deformation and form ridges on both sides. It will continue to increase, and fine particles (Fig. 2 (8)) can be observed at the bulge, and the particle size is about 丨 (4). In Fig. 2 (O, (c〇 shows no bulge). For example, at room temperature, [1〇 station and 1>^ with the same micromachining of glass will cause chipping. Although it is not intended to be bound by any theory, it causes cracking at normal temperature. It is speculated that it may be due to thermal stress generated during photothermal etching. If the micromachining temperature is set to an annealing temperature of the substrate material of about 200-300 degrees or less, or even 350 ° C or less, the chip generated by thermal stress can be eliminated. According to this, the annealing temperature of Borofloat glass is 560. (:, Preheat the Borofloat glass to 150-300X: preferably 200-30 (TC) to avoid chipping. In addition to quartz, bumps can also be found on the Borofloat glass and Pyrex glass substrates. The phenomenon may be caused by the process of driving the working platform from the stepping motor. If the pattern formed is not a straight line but an arc or a turn, the bulging phenomenon will be more obvious. The position of the laser light initially applied is also obvious. Therefore, if the scanning or characterization rate is properly controlled, the occurrence of bulges will be slowed down. Although the substrate 'made by the present invention has a small amount of ridges on both sides of the micro-grooves, when the micro-channels are formed, the two substrates are usually joined together, and the grooves are closed to form microchannels. Therefore, if the height of the ridge is within the allowable range of bonding of the two substrates (usually about 4.5/zm), a combined microchannel can still be produced. No. 9 1271252 3 (a) shows the relationship between the number of times of depiction and the height of the ridges on both sides. In the figure, (4) shows a relationship between the number of times of application of the laser light and the height of the ridges of the quartz substrate and the Borofloat glass substrate. The figure shows that the B〇r〇fl〇at glass substrate is less sensitive to the number of characterizations. Figure 3 (b) shows the relationship between the linear intensity of the laser beam 〇inearenergy density (the ratio of the laser beam energy to the scanning speed) and the height of the ridge. As shown in the figure, if the linear intensity (4) of the laser light is appropriate, it is difficult to cause the height of the hybrid to be (4) below 2. 5_. Figure 3 (e) is a plot of the linear intensity of the laser beam versus the width of the engraved trench. (The width of the groove is set to be the width of the groove below the horizontal plane of the glass, and does not include the protrusions on both sides.) The figure shows that when the linear intensity of the laser beam is controlled to an appropriate range, it can still be as wide as 8〇. #m的槽. As a result of increasing the linearity of the laser beam, although the width of the groove can be increased, the ridge is also raised. Figure 4 shows the linear intensity of the laser beam and the structure of the groove. (4) shows the relationship between the linear intensity and the groove depth, and (8) shows the relationship between the groove and the aspect ratio (aspectrati). The intensity distribution of the laser beam is Gaussian, and the resulting groove section also forms the shape of an approximate Gaussian curve. However, after the groove depth is greater than 150#m, the section no longer forms a Gaussian curve, and a deviation occurs. As shown in the figure (Fig. 4 (8)), a laser engraving is applied to the surface of the substrate to obtain a groove/slot with an aspect ratio of 〇·83. Example 4 The substrate of Example 2 was subjected to laser characterization using the apparatus of Examples 1-3. The way of characterization is to sculpt the position of the groove together. The laser beam is incident at an angle that forms a right angle to the surface of the substrate. The result is shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the substrate obtained by multi-characterizing the same groove with a laser beam. Among them, (a) the result of the engraving of the first time, (b) the result of the engraving of the second time, (c) the result of the four engravings of the table, and (d) the result of the engraving of the eight times, each engraving The time interval is leap seconds. !271252 The figure shows that after 4 times of the same groove, the groove aspect ratio can be obtained as 1.52. However, after 8 engravings for the same groove, the groove shape will be biased instead of being close to the Gaussian curve. Example 5 The substrate of Example 2 was characterized by the same apparatus as in Example 1-3. When characterization, first engrave the _-channel on the grooveless substrate, and then slightly shift the laser beam (the distance is smaller than the width of the formed groove) / σ groove length in the same condition. The result is shown in Fig. 6. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the trench obtained by parallel characterization of different locations. As shown in the figure, the widths of the two grooves # are 14 〇 _ and 200, respectively, and the distance between the two is 1 qing m. The groove shape formed is a combination of 2 grooves. The wet side of this shape cannot be formed. However, in the case of reactive ion etching (RIE), most steps are required. Such a trench structure is particularly useful, for example, in microfluidic heating/cooling reaction devices. Example 6 The substrate of Example 2 was engraved with the apparatus of Examples 1-3. When depicting, it is characterized by a checkerboard pattern, forming a straight line of straight fathers. The intersection of the grid lines can form micro_(mieiOweUs) and become a microdomain column. Fig. 7 is a SEM photograph showing the checkerboard groove of this embodiment. The figure shows that the distance between the turns is 3〇〇"m, and each has a diameter of 6G_, which is reduced to 5G/zm. Among them, the depth refers to the result measured downward from the bottom of each rifling groove. This structure is very suitable for cell culture and preservation for further biochemical experiments. Since the micromachining method provided by the present invention is simple, the structure can be completed within 2 minutes (area 2 〇} (2〇1111112), but in the conventional 8*+ dry etching and reactive ion etching, only It can be carried out at a speed of 1 〇 plus ^^, and it takes longer to take out the 50#m deep micro-trap. Example 7 11 1271252 With the apparatus of Examples 1-3, a Borofloat glass surface is subjected to Characterize the resulting image, as shown in Figure 8. Please show that the laser-free fragmentation micromachining method of the present invention is suitable for depicting the surface of a micro-trench substrate on a complex pattern. As shown in the figure, the image includes 蜿蜒 and spiral pattern. The width and depth of the groove are 90_ and 5〇, respectively (each time is drawn), wherein the formed flow channel can be used to inject and take out the reactants and products. The wire plate can be (4) subjected to high temperature. And chemistry. When joining the silk plate, do not touch the outer / (four) sputum 'such as crystal clear gGiphGUS siH_) for anodic bonding. The resulting microchannel wafers are well suited for biochemical reaction applications and can withstand poor reaction conditions. Most importantly, the resulting grooved structure is free of debris and can be completed in 2 minutes (area 2〇X 65 bribe 2). It is beyond the reach of conventional technology. The above is a description of the laser-free fragmentation micromachining of the present invention. Those who are acquainted with the artist may know the spirit of the invention from the above-mentioned month and make various changes and derivatives. Only the spirit of the invention should be included in the scope of the invention patent application.
