More particularly, the present invention relates to a laser processing apparatus and a laser processing method capable of grasping in advance whether or not the object to be processed is capable of laser processing when laser light is focused on the object to be processed.
The laser processing apparatus irradiates an object to be processed with a laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator by using an optical system. The object to be processed is exposed by such a laser beam to perform marking, exposure, etching, punching, scribing, Laser processing such as dicing is performed.
Recently, in order to prevent the surface of the object to be damaged, a method of processing the object by focusing the laser beam in the transmissive object to form a modified region has attracted attention. For such laser processing, a laser beam having a high output or a very short initial pulse may be used. When a high-power laser beam is focused on an object to be processed such as a semiconductor wafer or the like, a modified region is formed near the light-converging point. Then, cracks are generated from the modified region thus formed, and cracks thus generated are naturally or externally expanded to the surface of the object to be processed, thereby dicing the object to be processed.
