    摘要: There is provided a laser processing method for performing laser processing on a wafer having a functional layer on a substrate. The laser processing method includes a blackening step of emitting a pulsed laser beam of a wavelength transparent to the functional layer from a laser oscillator and blackening the functional layer by irradiating the functional layer with the pulsed laser beam of energy equal to or higher than a processing threshold value at which the functional layer is processed such that an overlap ratio of the pulsed laser beam successively applied to the functional layer is equal to or more than 90% and less than 100%, and a groove processing step of forming a laser-processed groove by irradiating the blackened functional layer with the pulsed laser beam and making the blackened functional layer absorb the pulsed laser beam, after performing the blackening step.

    摘要: A laser oscillator of a laser processing apparatus generates burst pulses each composed of a plurality of sub-pulses. The plurality of sub-pulses are generated in such a manner that the energy of the sub-pulse sequentially changes from a lower energy to a higher energy, and the burst pulses are applied to a wafer, whereby the wafer is formed therein with shield tunnels extending from the front surface to the back surface of the wafer and each being composed of a minute hole and an amorphous phase surrounding the minute hole.

    摘要: A laser processing method for a wafer includes: linearly forming a plurality of shield tunnels each having a fine hole and an amorphous region surrounding the fine hole at predetermined intervals in an inner part of a test substrate, the test substrate having a material and a thickness identical to those of a substrate of the wafer to be processed, while changing time intervals of a plurality of pulses constituting a burst pulse laser beam; and measuring a rupture strength when the test substrate is ruptured along the plurality of shield tunnels. Next, the time intervals of the pulses when the rupture strength is at a minimum are calculated, and a laser processing step is performed which linearly forms a plurality of shield tunnels at predetermined intervals in an inner part of the wafer, by irradiating the wafer with the laser beam having the time intervals of the pulses.

    摘要: An optical device including a substrate and a light emitting layer formed on the front surface of the substrate. The back surface of the substrate is formed with a concave portion like a crater. The concave portion is formed by applying a laser beam having an absorption wavelength to an optical device wafer. In the optical device, light emitted from the light emitting layer strikes the inner surface of the concave portion and is next irregularly reflected from the inner surface of the concave portion.

    摘要: A method of processing a wafer includes applying a laser beam having a wavelength that is transmittable through a sapphire substrate to the wafer while positioning a focused spot of the beam within the wafer in regions corresponding to projected dicing lines through a reverse side of the wafer, thereby forming a plurality of shield tunnels made up of a plurality of pores and an amorphous body surrounding the pores, at predetermined spaced intervals in the wafer along the projected dicing lines. A laser beam having a wavelength that is transmittable through the sapphire substrate to the wafer is applied while positioning a focused spot of the laser beam within the wafer in the projected dicing lines through the reverse side of the wafer, thereby forming modified layers between adjacent shield tunnels. Exerting external forces to the wafer divides the wafer into a plurality of optical device chips.
