Dear Shammi,

can you give more description to the process since it is not clear in your question.

It is so that the laser beam will ionize the air for example or any other gas intended for the process. But the light can not separate the electrons from the ions. You need electric field to separate the products of the light ionization and accelerate the ions before their incidence on the material?  

Best wishes

Lasers are not the preferred means to implement SEE testing. As you need ions of defined energy, any ion emitter with an appropriate accelerator setup is required.

OK, if you like you could use a laser to release ions from a charged target. But this seems somehow overengineered as a glowing anode or cathode should do as well.

To Abdelhalim Zekry & U. Dreher,

I want to use Laser source to deposit equivalent energy as deposited by ions/radiation of certain energy to cause Soft Errors (SEE: Single Event Effects) in CMOS based ASICs. SInce accelerators are costlier and have limited energy of ion beams produced so I would like to go for Laser based test set-up for SEE testing of the CMOS ASICs.

The link given by Aparna Murthy can be read for better understanding of the question.

Thanks All

See the text of the parental chapter 1.3: "... do not meet the requirements ...".

A pulsed laser might be able to generate ions, but not well-defined regarding their energy. Thus you may use it for 'probing', but not for the standard tests.

Dear U Dreher,

Initially I was also not sure if Lasers can be used for this purpose but I found one such system called Pulsys-Rad.

Kindly see the details of PULSYS Rad system here: http://www.pulscan.com/index.php?id=6, and provide your comments.

Thanks

From what I see, the Pulsys page does not contradict my previous answer:

Kindly see the highlighted part of attached image file.

Shammi Verma did you eventually selected any Laser System for SEE testing? Could you please share the details or updates? I am also looking to find a Complete Laser system (including Laser source, camera/microscope, table, etc).

Thanks
