    Abstract: A laser welding method includes a pretreatment process and a welding process. At least one metal member of the plurality of metal members is formed from a metal-plated steel plate in which a base metal has been covered with a coating material that has a melting point lower than the base metal. In the pretreatment process, with the position of the first metal member in the in-plane direction fixed, processing is performed from the front surface of the first metal member to form on the back surface, a protrusion that bulges from the back surface. Then, in the welding process, the first metal member in which a protrusion has been formed is superposed on a second metal member with the protrusion therebetween while maintaining the position in the in-plane direction, and laser light is irradiated on the superposed region to weld the plurality of metal members to each other.

    Abstract: Provided is a wafer processing method for dividing a wafer having devices formed on a front side thereof into individual device chips, the front side being partitioned by a plurality of crossing division lines having a testing metal pattern formed in part thereof into a plurality of regions where the respective devices are formed. The method includes a first modified layer forming step of applying a laser beam of a wavelength having a transmitting property to the wafer with a focal point of the laser beam positioned inside the wafer at a first depth from the back side, thereby forming a first modified layer along a division line, and a second modified layer forming step of applying the laser beam with the focal point positioned at a second depth shallower than the first depth, thereby forming a second modified layer along the same division line.

    Abstract: A method for processing a wafer in which patterns including a metal layer are formed on streets. The method includes: a step of applying a laser beam along the streets formed with the patterns to form laser processed grooves while removing the patterns; a step of forming cut grooves having a depth in excess of a finished thickness of the wafer, inside the laser processed grooves; a step of grinding the back surface side of the wafer to thin the wafer to the finished thickness and to expose the cut grooves to the back surface of the wafer, thereby dividing the wafer into a plurality of device chips; a step of removing a crushed layer formed on the back surface side of the wafer; and a step of forming a strain layer on the back surface side of the wafer by plasma processing using an inert gas.
