Abstract

Polycarbonate (PC) and cyclic olefin copolymers (COC) are extensively employed in optical lenses due to their exceptional optical properties. However, mechanical clamping forces connecting lenses to each other and barrel within the camera module assembly (CMA) can lead to image quality degradation. Laser welding of plastics has emerged as an innovative technique for addressing this issue. Picosecond laser welding has successfully achieved joints between PC to PC, PC to COC, and COC to COC under optical contact (OC) and non-optical contact (NOC) conditions. Comprehensive analyses of weld zone morphology and mechanical properties have revealed diffusion bonding as the mechanism for joint formation and brittle fracture as the mechanism for fracture. By contrasting the requirements of camera module assembly with these plastic joints, the joint bonding strength is deemed adequate. However, numerous challenges and limitations hinder the advancement of laser plastic welding within the CMA field. Pertinent suggestions have been provided to address these obstacles, including the optimization of welding parameters, utilization of a high-NA focal system, and surface polishing of materials. The implementation of improved laser welding techniques is expected to significantly contribute to the future development of CMA.

用皮秒激光进行塑料焊接在照相机模块组装领域的挑战和重点

聚碳酸酯（PC）和环烯烃共聚物（COC）因其优异的光学性能而被广泛应用于光学镜头中。然而，在相机模组组件（CMA）中，镜片与镜筒之间的机械夹紧力会导致图像质量下降。塑料激光焊接已成为解决这一问题的创新技术。在光学接触（OC）和非光学接触（NOC）条件下，皮秒激光焊接成功实现了 PC 与 PC、PC 与 COC 以及 COC 与 COC 之间的焊接。对焊接区形态和机械性能的综合分析表明，扩散接合是接头形成的机理，而脆性断裂则是接头断裂的机理。通过将摄像头模块组装的要求与这些塑料接头进行对比，我们认为接头的结合强度是足够的。然而，众多挑战和限制阻碍了激光塑料焊接在 CMA 领域的发展。针对这些障碍提出了相关建议，包括优化焊接参数、使用高 NA 聚焦系统和材料表面抛光。改良激光焊接技术的实施有望极大地促进 CMA 的未来发展。
