Theoretical modeling of these interactions usually involves the use of Two-Temperature model (TTM), which is a widely implemented approach to study the evolution of electron and lattice dynamics during laser excitation. However, it has been observed that electron and hole quasi-temperatures evolve differently on the surface of Silicon, as they depend crucially on the excitation process. In this work, we would like to present a new Three-Temperature model (3TM) to study distinct electron, hole and lattice temperatures. The evolution of these three subsystems is simulated. The electro-magnetic field dynamics is formulated using the finite difference time domain method to solve Maxwell’s equations, together with temperature dependent refractive index and two-photon absorption coefficient. Damage threshold data is studied and compared with experimental data for Silicon., 16th International Conference on Laser Ablation (COLA 2021/2022)}, title = {Three-temperature model for laser processing of Silicon}, year = {2022} }
