Title:
LASER DICING APPARATUS AND LASER DICING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015170697
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser dicing apparatus and a laser dicing method capable of inspecting formation states (existence of a defective portion in a modified region, a position of the defective portion, etc.) of the modified region due to irradiation of a laser beam by observation of a rear face of the wafer without increasing processing time.SOLUTION: A wafer W is sucked and held to a transparent chuck table 12 and a laser beam from a laser head 50 is applied to the wafer along a processing line. Thereby, a modified region for dividing the wafer W on the processing line is formed in the wafer W. On the other hand, a microscope 80 is arranged on the rear face side of the chuck table 12 and the rear face of the wafer W on a position along the processing line is photographed by the microscope 80. Whether a crack extended from the modified region to the rear face of the wafer W appears or not is determined on the basis of an image obtained by the photographing to determine the formation states of the modified region.
