Which risk increases when a pulsed laser etches a target?

💡 Explanation

Plasma formation risk is high because the intense laser energy causes rapid ionization of the ablated material. This leads to dielectric breakdown, therefore creating a hot plasma above the target, rather than controlled heating of the substrate material.
