  • Patent number: 8890027
    Abstract: An object to be processed 1 is irradiated with laser light L with a standard pulse waveform, so as to form a molten processed region 131, which has a larger size in the thickness direction of the object 1 and is easy to generate a fracture 24 in the thickness direction of the object 1, within a silicon wafer 111, and with laser light L with a retarded pulse waveform, so as to form a molten processed region 132, which has a smaller size in the thickness direction of the object 1 and is hard to generate the fracture 24 in the thickness direction of the object 1, within a silicon wafer 112.

  • Publication number: 20120223061
    Abstract: A laser processing method for forming a modification region serving as a starting point of cutting inside a member to be cut along a planned cutting line by relatively moving an optical axis of a condenser lens along the planned cutting line of the member and by irradiating the member with focused laser light, wherein a plurality of cross-sectional focused spots is simultaneously formed on a section which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the condenser lens at positions having a predetermined depth from a surface of the member and which is parallel to the surface and, at that time, at least one cross-sectional focused spot of the plurality of cross-sectional focused spots is formed on a projection line of the planned cutting line onto the cross section to form one or more inside modification regions having a desired shape.
