| 20100062214 | Method for drilling micro-hole and structure thereof - Disclosed is a micro-hole structure and a method for forming the micro-hole. A working energy source is projected onto a predetermined drilling site on a first surface of a substrate for a given period of time so as to melt a portion of the substrate to form a working energy entering section until the working energy source penetrates through a second surface of the substrate to form a micro-hole.
