  • Publication number: 20240258170
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor element includes irradiating a laser beam on a wafer, which includes a sapphire substrate having a first face and a second face opposite the first face and a semiconductor structure disposed on the first face, from a second face side. The laser beam irradiated along a first direction parallel to the second face of the sapphire substrate is focused inside the sapphire substrate to thereby create a modified portion in the sapphire substrate along the first direction. The wafer is severed and separated into a number of semiconductor elements following the formation of a modified portion. In the step of forming a modified portion, the laser beam is focused closer to the second face than to the first face in a thickness direction of the sapphire substrate.
