Patent number: 9102005Abstract: A laser processing method which can prevent an object to be processed from being cut along a line to cut from a modified region acting as a cutting start point when separating a suction table and a holding member from each other is provided. An expandable tape 23 holding an object to be processed 1 while being stuck to a frame 51 is secured by suction onto a suction table 52 of a vacuum chuck with a porous sheet 53 interposed therebetween. Since the sheet 53 has a Young's modulus lower than that of the table 52, the tape 23 is restrained from biting into fine pores of the sheet 53. As a consequence, even when the table 52 and tape 23 are separated from each other by releasing the suction securing after forming a modified region 7, no strong bending stress acts on the object 1. This can prevent the object 1 from being cut along a line to cut from the modified region 7 acting as a cutting start point when separating the table 52 and tape 23 from each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2006Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.Inventors: Kenichi Muramatsu, Takeshi Sakamoto

Patent number: 8759948Abstract: An object to be processed 1 comprising a substrate 4 and a plurality of functional devices 15 formed on a front face 3 of the substrate 4 is irradiated with laser light L while locating a converging point P within the substrate 4, so as to form at least one row of a divided modified region 72, at least one row of a quality modified region 71 positioned between the divided modified region 72 and the front face 3 of the substrate 4, and at least one row of an HC modified region 73 positioned between the divided modified region 72 and a rear face 21 of the substrate 4 for one line to cut 5. Here, in a direction along the line to cut, a forming density of the divided modified region 72 is made lower than that of the quality modified region 71 and that of the HC modified region 73.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Takeshi Sakamoto, Kenichi Muramatsu

Patent number: 8685838Abstract: A laser processing method which can accurately cut an object to be processed along a line to cut is provided. A modified region 7 formed by multiphoton absorption forms a cutting start region 8 within an object to be processed 1 along a line to cut 5. Thereafter, the object 1 is irradiated with laser light L2 absorbable by the object 1 along the line to cut 5, so as to generate fractures 24 from the cutting start region 8 acting as a start point, whereby the object 1 can accurately be cut along the line to cut 5. Expanding an expandable film 19 having the object 1 secured thereto separates individual chips 25 from each other, which can further improve the reliability in cutting the object 1 along the line to cut 5.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2003Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Fumitsugu Fukuyo, Kenshi Fukumitsu, Naoki Uchiyama, Toshimitsu Wakuda, Kazuhiro Atsumi, Kenichi Muramatsu

Patent number: 8617964Abstract: A laser processing method for preventing particles from occurring from cut sections of chips obtained by cutting a silicon wafer is provided. An irradiation condition of laser light L for forming modified regions 77 to 712 is made different from an irradiation condition of laser light L for forming the modified regions 713 to 719 such as to correct the spherical aberration of laser light L in areas where the depth from the front face 3 of a silicon wafer 11 is 335 ?m to 525 ?m. Therefore, even when the silicon wafer 11 and a functional device layer 16 are cut into semiconductor chips from modified regions 71 to 719 acting as a cutting start point, twist hackles do not appear remarkably in the areas where the depth is 335 ?m to 525 ?m, whereby particles are hard to occur.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2011Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Takeshi Sakamoto, Kenichi Muramatsu

Patent number: 8563893Abstract: A laser processing apparatus comprises a converging lens 31 for converging processing laser light and rangefinding laser light L2 toward a wafer 1, an actuator for actuating the lens 31, a shaping optical system 49 for adding astigmatism to reflected light L3 of the rangefinding laser light, a quadrant photodiode 42 for receiving the reflected light L3 and outputting voltage values corresponding to its light quantities, and a controller for regulating the actuator, and positions a converging point P2 of the rangefinding laser light L2 between a focal point P0 of the lens and the lens 31, so as to make it possible to form a modified region at a position deeper from the front face 3, thereby suppressing adverse effects due to the reflected light L3. The control is based on an arithmetic value subjected to a division by a sum of the voltage values, so as to prevent the arithmetic value from being changed by the quantity of reflected light.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2006Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Koji Kuno, Kenichi Muramatsu, Kazuhiro Atsumi, Tetsuya Osajima
