Title:
LASER PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/096094
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A laser processing method whereby a plate-shaped object to be processed (1), comprising a hexagonal crystal SiC substrate (12) having a surface (12a) that forms an angle equivalent to the off-angle relative to the c-plane, is prepared. Preliminary modified regions (7p) are then formed inside the SiC substrate (12) along each of two preliminary lines (5p) set on both sides of a planned cutting line (5a), by irradiating a laser light (L). At this time, cracking in the SiC substrate (12) from the preliminary modified regions (7p) is made less likely to occur, compared to from a modified region (7a) that becomes the starting point for cutting. After the preliminary modified regions (7p) are formed along the preliminary lines (5p), modified regions (7a) are formed inside the SiC substrate (12) along the planned cutting line (5a) parallel to the surface (12a) and the a-plane, by irradiating the laser light (L).
