Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/014710
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a laser processing method in which laser light (L) is focused inside a target object (1) formed from glass, thereby forming a modified region (7), and etching is performed along the modified region (7), thereby forming a through-hole (24) in the target object (1). Said method includes: a browning step in which at least part of the target object (1) is discolored via browning; a laser-light focusing step, after the browning step, in which laser light (L) is focused on the target object (1), thereby forming a modified region (7) in the discolored part of the target object (1); and an etching treatment step, after the laser-light focusing step, in which the target object (1) is etched, said etching being made to selectively progress along the modified region (7) to form the through-hole (24).
