Aluminum Blanks for Laser Ablation Masks
Precision Aluminum-Coated Substrates for High-Energy Laser Processing
Telic manufactures precision aluminum-coated photomask blanks engineered for laser ablation and high-energy laser processing applications. Produced on optically polished substrates with vacuum-deposited aluminum films, these blanks provide the reflectivity, durability, and dimensional stability required for demanding laser patterning processes.
Manufactured in ISO-classified cleanroom environments, Telic aluminum blanks combine precision substrate preparation, DC sputtered aluminum coatings, and optional photoresist processing to support prototype development through high-volume production.
Designed for Precision Laser Pattern Transfer
Laser ablation masks require exceptional coating uniformity and substrate quality to achieve repeatable feature definition and consistent energy distribution. Telic aluminum blanks are manufactured using precision optical substrates and tightly controlled sputtering processes to deliver reliable performance across UV, visible, and infrared laser applications.
