Based　on　pulsed　laser　irradiation　processing,　an　approach　to　the　recovery　of　fatigue　damage　was　investigated　by　an　excimer　laser　for　copper　film　with　thickness　of　25　mu　m.　First,　optimal　parameters　of　laser　irradiation　were　identified　by　the　obtained　fatigue　life　results　under　different　laser　treatment　conditions.　Then,　the　specimens　with　different　amounts　of　fatigue　damage　were　treated　by　the　obtained　optimal　laser　parameters.　The　results　showed　that　the　copper　film　can　show　a　good　degree　of　hardening　and　a　smooth　surface　feature　after　the　specimen　surface　was　slightly　melted　by　the　laser　irradiation,　which　makes　the　residual　fatigue　life　be　extended.　When　fatigue　damage　is　less　than　70%,　the　damage　can　be　recovered　by　pulsed　laser　irradiation　treatment.　The　obtained　residual　fatigue　life　of　specimens　is　about　6　times　that　of　no　laser　treatment.
