Which risk increases when a high-powered laser etches silicon?

💡 Explanation

Laser etching involves rapid heating; ablation may create plasma above the silicon due to localized, high energy density from the photons through inverse bremstrahlung. Therefore, plasma ignition is a risk, rather than induced tensile strength because the process is material ablation.
