    Abstract: An object cutting method includes: a first step of preparing an object to be processed including a single crystal silicon substrate and a functional device layer provided on a first main surface side and forming an etching protection layer on a second main surface of the object; a second step of irradiating the object with laser light to form at least one row of modified regions in the single crystal silicon substrate and to form a fracture in the object so as to extend between the at least one row of modified regions and a surface of the etching protection layer; and a third step of performing dry etching on the object from the second main surface side, in a state in which the etching protection layer is formed on the second main surface, to form a groove opening to the second main surface.

    Abstract: A laser processing device includes a laser light source, a converging optical system, a controller, and a reflective spatial light modulator. The controller and the reflective spatial light modulator, while using an aberration as a reference aberration, the aberration occurring when laser light is converged at a converging position with an amount of aberration correction in a state in which an ideal converging position is shifted by a predetermined distance to a laser light entrance side from the converging position, adjusts the aberration such that a first converging length longer than a reference converging length of the reference aberration is obtained and a first converging intensity less than a reference converging intensity of the reference aberration is obtained, when a modified region is formed within a first region closest to a front face of an object to be processed.

    Abstract: An inspection device includes a laser irradiation unit irradiating a wafer with laser light, a display displaying information, and a control unit. The control unit is constituted to execute deriving of an estimated processing result including information a modified region and a crack extending from the modified region formed on the wafer when the wafer is irradiated with the laser light by the laser irradiation unit on the basis of set recipes (processing conditions), and controlling the display so as to display an estimated processing result image depicting both a graphic image of the wafer and a graphic image of the modified region and the crack in the wafer in consideration of positions of the modified region and the crack in the wafer derived as the estimated processing result.

    Abstract: A cutting method includes: forming a reformed region in a workpiece; and after forming the reformed region in the workpiece, forming a groove in the workpiece along an intended cut line. In the forming a groove, a first dry etching process is performed from a front surface toward a rear surface of the workpiece. After the first dry etching process, a first pressure-reducing process is performed in which the workpiece is placed under an atmosphere of reduced pressure as compared to pressure during the first dry etching process. After the first pressure-reducing process, a second dry etching process is performed from the front surface toward the rear surface of the workpiece.
