Abstract

Description
The present invention relates to a laser machining apparatus and a laser machining method, and more particularly, to a laser machining apparatus and a laser machining method including a cooling head for cutting a substrate.
The laser processing apparatus is applied in various forms to a semiconductor device manufacturing process requiring formation and processing of a fine pattern. For example, in a semiconductor device manufacturing process, a laser processing apparatus is used in a process of cutting (separating) active regions of a wafer as a workpiece and separating the active regions as individual semiconductor chips.
The basic principle of the laser processing apparatus is that the laser is used to heat the cutting substrate below the softening point and then cool it to maximize the expansion / compression force inside the cutting substrate to minimize the loss of the material. Such a laser thermal cutting method can be performed by heating a cut region using a laser beam generated from a laser light source, and then spraying a cooling fluid along the cut region to induce a crack.
At this time, when the cut region has a curvature, the movement route of the laser beam and the movement route of the cooling head for jetting the cooling fluid may be different, so that the cooling process after heating for the cut region may not be easily performed.
The present invention provides a laser processing apparatus and a laser processing method having a cooling head for substrate cutting capable of cooling a cutting region having a curvature.
The laser processing apparatus according to one example comprises: a first laser irradiation unit; And a cooling head for spraying a cooling fluid so as to surround the irradiation area of the laser beam formed by the first laser irradiation part.
The cooling fluid may be injected at a distance that is the same distance from the center of the irradiation area of the laser beam.
The cooling head may include a plurality of nozzle portions for ejecting the cooling fluid.
And the jetting direction of the cooling fluid jetted from the plurality of nozzle units may coincide with the irradiation direction of the laser.
And a jetting direction adjusting unit adjusting the jetting direction of the cooling fluid jetted from the plurality of nozzles.
And a control unit controlling the injection direction adjusting unit according to the area of the laser irradiation area to adjust the injection direction of the cooling fluid.
The control unit may control a flow rate of the cooling fluid ejected from the plurality of nozzles.
And a second laser irradiating unit disposed in front of the first laser irradiating unit with a predetermined gap therebetween.
The first and second laser irradiation units may be CO 2 laser irradiation units.
The cooling fluid may comprise at least one of water or alcohol.
And a transfer unit for transferring the first laser irradiation unit and the cooling head.
The first laser irradiation unit and the cooling head may be transported along the direction having the linear direction and the curvature by the transfer unit.
A laser processing method according to an embodiment includes: inputting a line to be divided for a substrate including curvature; And moving the first laser irradiation unit and the plurality of nozzle units along the line along which the material is to be divided.
Determining an irradiation area of the first laser beam by the first laser irradiation part; And determining an injection angle of the plurality of nozzle units.
And determining a jet flow rate of the cooling fluid jetted from the plurality of nozzle units.
According to the laser processing apparatus according to one example, it is possible to perform laser processing on a cut region having various shapes, more specifically, a cut region having a curvature.
In addition, efficient cutting of the substrate by the laser processing apparatus can be performed by using the cooling fluid which can be injected by adjusting the injection angle and the injection flow rate.
