Patent number: 11612956Abstract: A laser light irradiation device includes: a laser light source; a spatial light modulator including a display unit configured to display a phase pattern; an objective lens configured to condense a laser light emitted from the spatial light modulator at the object; an image-transfer optical system configured to transfer an image of the laser light on the display unit to an entrance pupil plane of the objective lens; a reflected light detector configured to detect reflected light of the laser light which is incident in the object and reflected by an opposite surface opposite to a laser light entrance surface; and a controller configured to control the phase pattern. When the reflected light detector detects the reflected light, the controller displays a reflected light aberration correction pattern which is the phase pattern correcting aberration generated in the event of the laser light being transmitted through the object having twice the predetermined thickness.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2017Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Yasunori Igasaki, Aiko Nakagawa

Patent number: 11471976Abstract: A laser machining device includes a laser light source, a spatial light modulator which includes a display unit, an objective lens, an image-transfer optical system, a camera and a controller. The controller executes first display processing and second display processing. According to first display processing, when the camera captures the image, the display unit displays a first phase pattern for adjusting a condensing position of laser light condensed by the objective lens to a first condensing position. According to second display processing, when the camera captures the image, the display unit displays a second phase pattern for adjusting the condensing position of the laser light condensed by the objective lens to a second condensing position different from the first condensing position in an irradiation direction of the laser light.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Yasunori Igasaki, Aiko Nakagawa, Takeshi Yamada

Patent number: 9029987Abstract: While reliably cutting an object to be processed, the strength of the resulting chips is improved. An object to be processed 1 is irradiated with laser light L, so as to form modified regions 17, 27, 37, 47 extending along lines to cut 5 and aligning in the thickness direction in the object 1. Here, modified regions 17 are formed such that modified region formed parts 17a and modified region unformed parts 17b alternate along the lines, and modified regions 47 are formed such that modified region formed parts 47a and modified region unformed parts 47b alternate along the lines. This can inhibit formed modified regions 7 from lowering the strengths on the rear face 21 side and front face 3 side of chips obtained by cutting. On the other hand, modified regions 27, 37 located between the modified regions 17, 47 are formed continuously from one end side of the lines 5 to the other end side thereof, whereby the cuttability of the object 1 can be secured reliably.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Aiko Nakagawa, Takeshi Sakamoto

Patent number: 8865568Abstract: Fractures (17a, 17b) are generated from modified regions (7a, 7b) to front and rear faces (12a, 12b) of a object to be processed (1), respectively, while an unmodified region (2) is interposed between the modified regions (7a, 7b). This can prevent fractures from continuously advancing in the thickness direction of a silicon substrate (12) when forming a plurality of rows of modified regions (7). By generating a stress in the object (1), the fractures (17a, 17b) are connected to each other in the unmodified region (2), so as to cut the object (1). This can prevent fractures from meandering in the rear face (12b) of the object (1) and so forth, whereby the object (1) can be cut accurately along a line to cut the object (5).Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.KInventors: Takeshi Sakamoto, Aiko Nakagawa
