Abstract
In order to research the internal mechanism of interaction between excimer laser and polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA ), the surface of PMMA was vertically irradiated by KrF excimer laser at wavelength of 248nm, and the experiment was completed in atmosphere through changing laser energy and pulse number. The treated PMMA was analyzed with many methods, for example scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), etc. The results of SEM indicate that a lot of apertures can appear at the irradiated surface of PMMA. The phenomenon means that some gas is given out when excimer laser irradiates PMMA. The results of XPS show that peak intensity of C1s decreases but peak intensity of O1s increases, so the methyls of PMMA are etched and O2 in atmosphere attends the reaction. Besides, the research on the etching rate and the roughness indicates they do not always increase when laser energy and pulse number increase.
