  • Publication number: 20230335420
    Abstract: A crack generated on a main surface of a substrate is detected, and the main surface of the substrate is scanned with the laser light in order that a time integral of a light amount of laser light for annealing with which a unit area in a crack region including the detected crack is irradiated is smaller than a time integral of a light amount of the laser light with which a unit area in a region different from the crack region is irradiated, to perform laser annealing treatment on the substrate.
