            Abstract : 
Laser process technologies have been developed which are well suited to the manufacture of thin film electronic packages. The authors discuss three technologies-laser ablation, laser-assisted metal etching, and laser chemical vapor deposition-and how they can be used in polymer and metal patterning. Process and tooling considerations as well as specific applications are presented
