Disclosed are a laser generating device and a laser generation method. A laser beam including a fundamental wave and also including a second harmonic and a third harmonic is divided into laser beams (L1-L3) of each wavelength by means of dichroic mirrors (31, 32). Each of the laser beams (L1-L3) are then divided into P-polarized components (L1P-L3P) and S-polarized components (L1S-L3S) by means of polarizing beam splitters (51(L1)-51(L3)). The S-polarized components (L1S-L3S) reflected by the polarizing beam splitters (51(L1)-51(L3)) are refracted in the direction orthogonal to the P-polarized components (L1P-L3P) by pairs of total reflection mirrors (42(L1)-42(L3), 43(L1)-43(L3)). The P-polarized components (L1P-L3P) and the S-polarized components (L1S-L3S) are then combined on the same optic axis, for each wavelength, by the polarizing beam splitters (52(L1)-52(L3)). In addition, the laser beams (L1-L3) of each wavelength obtained by combining the polarized components are combined on the same optic axis by the dichroic mirrors (33, 34) and are then output. As a result, laser beams can be utilized without waste and laser beams of a desired waveform can be readily obtained, and in addition laser beams of a plurality of wavelengths can be respectively emitted having an elongated pulse width.

[Prior Art] A pulse irradiation device that separates pulsed laser light into light path paths having different light path lengths and then combines the separated pulsed light to arbitrarily change the adjustable pulse width of the temporal pulse width is known. . For example, the apparatus disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 74216 uses a first semi-lens to separate laser light into two laser beams, and a pair of total reflection mirrors are used to reflect and travel on the i-th half lens. The direction of the laser light is bent in the direction perpendicular to the laser light that travels through the first semi-lens, and the two laser beams are combined at the second angle of the intersection of the two laser beams. In addition, the device disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-224827 reflects the s-polarized light into the gossip by causing the laser light to be incident on the partial beam splitter, and the P-polarized component is penetrated by the pair. The total reflection blade, after the polarization component is turned back, is again returned to the same s 4k in the partial beam splitter to synthesize two kinds of laser light with different light path lengths. However, when a half lens (beam splitter) disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 11-074216 is used to synthesize two laser beams, it is divided into: transmitted light and reflected light by 2; Therefore, two synthetic lights that actually travel in different directions are generated, and half of the light is unusable. That is, the two laser beams incident on the half lens are separated into the transmitted light and the reflected light, respectively, and the reflected light of one of the laser light and the reflected light of the other of the laser light are combined, and one of the thunder The reflected light of the emitted light and the transmitted light of the other laser light are synthesized. Since the two synthetic lights are emitted separately in two directions, only the synthesized light can be utilized, and the other synthesized light cannot be utilized. Yu Yu, the technique of the Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication, although a pair of total reflection mirrors can be used to recirculate the laser light that escapes to a portion of the light path to the light path, but the configuration of the final composite pulsed light waveform and The pulse light that does not have a reflow condition is different. Further, for example, in the case of annealing treatment using laser light or the like, the laser light of a plurality of wavelengths is extended by _width and then emitted. However, the apparatus of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-224827 extends the pulse of single-wavelength laser light. Since the width is set, there is a problem that the requirements of the aforementioned illumination pattern cannot be met. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to cope with the above problems, the present invention aims to extend the pulse width (light-emitting time) of the laser light by imparting a long and subsequent light path between the separated laser light.

The above-mentioned structure synthesizes the polarization components of the separated lengths of the separated lengths, the lengths of the corrections, and the difference in the length of the light, and finally synthesizes the wavelength f(4). After the record « degrees, each of the wavelength conversion units and the exchange element can be used to convert the length of the laser light into two wavelengths, and the length of the silk path is matched with the secret length. The radiation emission of each wavelength is sequentially performed. In the structure, the laser light after extending the pulse width has a time difference wavelength ', and the emission order of each wavelength can be selected by setting the light path length difference. Further, the laser excitation unit is configured to generate single-wavelength laser light; and the high-frequency wave generating unit converts the wavelength of the single-wavelength laser light to generate a high-frequency wave. The anti-long laser then enables the mine The transmitting and oscillating unit is a YAG laser that generates laser light of a basic wavelength, and the high-frequency generating unit may include a TMG crystal that generates a second high-frequency wave and a TMG crystal of a third high-frequency wave, and the output has a wavelength of at least l. 〇64 nm, 532 nm, 355 excitation laser light. Further, the light path of the fundamental wavelength laser light separated by the separation wavelength conversion unit may have the same oscillation wavelength as the fundamental wavelength In the above configuration, the output of the fundamental wavelength laser light separated by the separation wavelength conversion unit can be enhanced in the middle of the light path. Further, the sub-wavelength conversion unit and the composite wavelength conversion unit can be split by two colors. a dichroic mirror or a dichroic prism, and the wavelength conversion unit for separation and the wavelength conversion unit for synthesis may have a plurality of two-color knife lights that cause different wavelengths of penetration and reflection. a mirror or a two-color prism, and one of the plurality of dichroic beamsplitters or the two-color pupils is selectively disposed on the light path.

Furthermore, the meandering path length difference unit can be formed by arranging a refractive index optical medium on a light path having a geometric length of light and a longer polarization component. In the above configuration, by arranging the high refractive index optical medium f on the optical path, the filament light path length can be made longer than the geometric light path length, and the light path length difference can be imparted. Further, the laser generating apparatus of the present invention comprises: a two-color spectroscope for separation, which separates laser light including a fundamental wave and at least j kinds of high-frequency waves by wavelength; and a separating beam splitter for each wavelength The laser light is separated into two kinds of polarization components respectively; a pair of total reflection mirrors cross the light path of the polarization component reflected by the separation beam splitter to the polarization component penetrating the separation beam splitter Directional bending; a combined beam splitter that penetrates the polarization component of the separation beam splitter and is reflected by the separation beam splitter and bends the light path by the total reflection mirror The polarization components are synthesized on the same optical axis; and the two-color spectroscope for synthesis combines the laser beams of the respective wavelengths synthesized by the combined beam splitter on the same optical axis. In the above configuration, the laser light beams of the respective wavelengths obtained by separating the laser light by the two-color spectroscope are separated into two kinds of polarized light components by a beam splitter. The polarized light component reflected by the partial beam splitter will travel toward the light path longer than the polarized component of the split polarized beam splitting due to the reflection of a pair of total reflection mirrors, and the length of the light path is synthesized by the partial beam splitter. Two kinds of polarizing components after the difference, and further, 201219830, the laser light of each wavelength obtained by synthesizing the polarizing component is synthesized by the two-color spectroscope for synthesis. Moreover, the laser generating method of the present invention includes the steps of: separating the laser light including the fundamental wave and the at least one high-frequency wave according to the wavelength; and separating the laser light of each wavelength according to the polarization component; a step of imparting a difference in length of the light path between the polarized components; a step of synthesizing the polarized component after the difference in the length of the light path; and a step of synthesizing the laser light of each wavelength after synthesizing the polarized component. In the above configuration, the laser light including the fundamental wave and the at least one type of chirp wave is separated according to the wavelength, and the separated laser light of each wavelength is separated by the polarization component, and the light path is given to each of the separated polarization components. After the length difference, the synthesis is performed, and the laser light of each wavelength after synthesizing the polarization component is synthesized. Then, according to the laser generating apparatus and the laser generating method of the present invention, since the polarization path length difference (phase difference) can be synthesized by using the polarization conversion (reflection, penetration) of the difference in the vibration direction of the polarization component. The laser light can be used to emit the synthesized laser light in one direction, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the field light after the length difference of the light path is extended and the pulse width is extended, and since the laser light escapes to the light path, Therefore, it is not necessary to ensure the reflow of the efficiency, so that the waveform change caused by the reflow can be avoided. Furthermore, since the laser light of the complex wavelength is separated by the wavelength, the mercerized component is separated and the length of the light is _ length difference, and then the laser light of each wavelength after synthesizing the polarization component is synthesized.

[Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a laser annealing apparatus including the laser generating apparatus of the present invention and using the laser generating method of the present invention. In the laser annealing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1, the laser light 3 is irradiated onto the semiconductor film on the substrate 2 (omitted), and the semiconductor film is melt-solidified and crystallized. The stone film irradiates the laser light to anneal it to the laser. And a light-receiving optical system 5 for adjusting the laser light from the laser generating device 4 to be condensed on the surface of the semiconductor film, for example, and for mounting the substrate 2 substrate mounting table 6. The laser device 4 includes a SHG crystal (high-generation unit) that generates a second high-frequency wave, and a THG crystal 13 that generates a third high-frequency wave (high-frequency 2). Early life (6) 'there is a pulse width extender 14 that can extend the pulse width of the laser light. YAG laser n is composed of a combination of YAG rod and flash lamp = solid laser with a vibration wavelength of lG64nm, and SHG crystal 12 Will be = 1/2 of the fundamental wavelength λ of the 532 nm wavelength of the laser light (the second), the THG crystal 13 will produce a 1/3 of the basic wavelength of the 355 nm wave 201219830 long laser light (the third high frequency wave), and the wavelength 1 〇 The laser light of 64 nm, 532 nm, and 355 nm is emitted to the pulse width extender 14. However, the laser light source is not limited to the YAG laser 11, but may be other solid radiation such as excimer laser, or the laser light. The tree length 2 is limited to 1064 nm. As shown in Fig. 2, the pulse width extender 14 is provided with optical elements such as two-color spectroscopes 31 to 34, a beam splitter 5 52, and total reflection mirrors 41 to 44. Contains laser light LS (basic wave, wavelength from 1 to 64 nm, 532 nm, 355 nm from THG crystal 13) The second dichroic wave and the third high-frequency wave are combined to enter the first dichroic beam splitter 31 (separation wavelength conversion unit) which is disposed on the optical axis of the laser light LS by 45 deg., and a two-color 稜鏡 can also be used. In place of the two-color spectroscopes 31 to 34, the characteristics of the first dichroic beam splitter 31 are such that light having a wavelength of 355 nm or less (laser light L3, third south frequency wave) penetrates, and light having a wavelength of more than 355 nm (light of 1064 nm, 532 nm) The incident light L1, L2, and the fundamental wave and the second high-frequency wave are reflected. Therefore, among the three kinds of laser light LS having wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 355 nm incident on the first dichroic beam splitter 31, the laser light L3 having a wavelength of 355 nm is worn. The first dichroic beam splitter 31 travels straight through the first dichroic beam splitter 31. On the other hand, the laser beams li and L2 having wavelengths of 〇64 nm and 532 nm are incident on the mirror surface of the first dichroic beam splitter 31 at an incident angle of 45 deg and are reflected, so that the laser beam is incident. LI and L2 travel with respect to the incident direction of the first two-color 201219830 beam splitter 31 by 90 deg. Thereby, the laser light LS including the wavelengths of 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 355 nm is separated into laser light L3 having a wavelength of 355 nm. And wavelength Two kinds of light beams of laser light LI and L2 of 1064 nm and 532 nm. The second dichroic spectrum in which the mirror surface is parallel to the first dichroic beam splitter 31 is disposed on the optical axes of the laser beams L1 and L2 reflected by the first dichroic beam splitter 31. The mirror 32 (wavelength separating unit for separation) is then incident on the second dichroic beam splitter 32 by the laser beams L1 and L2 reflected by the second dichroic beam splitter 31. The characteristics of the second dichroic beam splitter 32 are such that light having a wavelength of i 〇 64 nm or more (laser light L1; fundamental wave) penetrates, and light having a wavelength smaller than i 〇 64 nm (laser light L2 having a wavelength of 532 nm; second high frequency wave) reflection. Then, two types of laser light L1, 64 nm, 532 nm of laser light L1, L2 incident on the second dichroic beam splitter 32 are ten, and the laser light L1 having a wavelength of i〇^4 nm penetrates the second dichroic beam splitter 32. The arrangement direction of the i-th and second dichroic beamsplitters 31 and 32 travels straight, and on the other hand, the laser light L2 having a wavelength of 532 nm is incident on the mirror surface of the second dichroic beam splitter 32 at an incident angle of 45 deg and is reflected, so that The laser knife 2 is directed toward the right side of FIG. 2 with respect to the person's square (four) for the second dichroic beam splitter 32, that is, parallel to the laser light for the first dichroic beam splitter 31 for the 5 1 ^ 卞The direction of incidence of the LS travels. Thereby, the laser light beam L1 having a wavelength of 1 () 64 and the laser beam having a wavelength of 532 nm are separated at the second dichroic domain 32. 201219830 / Further, the first total reflection mirror 41 ' is disposed on the optical axis of the laser light L1 penetrating the second dichroic beam splitter 32 with a mirror surface and a first dichroic beam splitter 31 and a second dichroic beam splitter 32*^. The field light L1 penetrating the second dichroic beam splitter 32 is incident and reflected at an incident angle of 45 deg with respect to the mirror surface of the second total reflection mirror 41, so that the laser light is incident with respect to the first total reflection mirror 41. f fold 90deg toward the right side of Figure 2, that is, parallel to the first! The two-color spectroscope w travels in the incident direction of the laser light LS. As described above, by the penetration and reflection at the second dichroic beam splitter 31 and the second dichroic mirror 32 (separation wavelength conversion unit), three kinds of wavelengths i〇64 nm, 532 nm, and 355 nm are included. The LS will be separated into laser light with a wavelength of l〇64nm (basic wavelength)! ^ (basic wave), three kinds of light beams of laser light L2 (second high frequency wave) having a wavelength of 532 nm and laser light L3 (third high frequency wave) having a wavelength of 355 nm. Further, the laser light L3 penetrating through the first dichroic beam splitter 31, the laser beam L2 reflected by the second dichroic beam splitter 32, and the laser beam L1 having a wavelength of 1064 nm reflected by the first total reflection mirror 41 are parallel to each other and Laser light traveling in the same direction (on the right side of Figure 2). Thus, the pulse widths of the laser beams LI, L2, and L3 separated into three types of light beams by wavelengths are extended by the partial beam splitters 51 and 52 and the total reflection mirrors 42 and 43. The process of the extended pulse width is performed by separating the polarization beam splitter 51 (separation polarization conversion unit) to separate the laser light into two directions, and using the total reflection mirrors 42, 43 to separate the polarized light.

Specifically, the first beam splitter 51 (L3) in which the polarizing film is parallel to the mirror surface of the first dichroic beam splitter 31 is disposed on the optical axis of the laser beam L3 that has penetrated the first dichroic beam splitter 31. Further, the partial beam splitters 51, 52 may be coated with a bevel of, for example, a 45 deg right angle 并 and then have a cube shape of a polarizing film. The laser light L3 penetrating the first dichroic beam splitter 31 is incident on the polarizing film of the first beam splitter 51 (L3) at an incident angle of 45 deg, so that the P-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3 penetrates the first partial beam. The splitter 51 (L3) travels, and the s-polarized component L3S of the laser light L3 is reflected by the first beam splitter 51 (L3), so that the S-polarized component L3S is split with respect to the first partial beam splitter. The incident direction of the polarizing film of the device 51 (L3) is bent 90 degrees toward the lower side of FIG. The laser light L3 having a wavelength of 355 nm is separated into two types of light beams of the P-polarized component L3P and the S-polarized component L3S by the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3). The second total reflection mirror 42 in which the mirror surface is parallel to the polarizing film of the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) is disposed on the optical axis of the S-polarized component L3S reflected by the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) (L3) ). Thereby, the S-polarized component L3S reflected by the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) enters the second total reflection mirror 42 (L3) at an incident angle of 45 deg and is reflected, and is opposed to the second total reflection mirror. In the case of 42 (L3), the 2012 201230 direction is bent 90 deg toward the right side of FIG. 2, that is, parallel to the incident direction of the laser light L3 for the first beam splitter 51 (L3). Further, a third total reflection mirror 43 (L3) whose mirror surface is line-symmetrical with the second total reflection mirror 42 (L3) is provided on the optical axis of the S-polarized component L3S reflected by the second total reflection mirror 42 (L3). The S-polarized component L3S of the laser light L3 reflected by the second total reflection mirror 42 (L3) is incident on the third total reflection mirror 43 (L3) at an incident angle of 45 deg and is reflected, and is directed to the third The incident direction of the total reflection mirror 43 (L3) is bent 90 deg toward the upper side of FIG. 2, that is, the P-polarized component L3P that is orthogonal (cross) to the laser light L3 penetrating the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3). The direction of the optical axis travels. The 卩-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3 penetrating the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) and the S-polarized component L3S of the laser light L3 reflected by the third total reflection mirror 43 (L3) are arranged at a position The second polarizing beam splitter 52 (L3) (synthesis polarization conversion unit) in which the polarizing film is parallel to the mirror surface of the third total reflection mirror 43 (L3). At the second partial beam splitter 52 (L3), the P-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3 penetrating the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) directly penetrates, and on the other hand, the third total reflection mirror 43 (L3) The S-polarized component L3S of the reflected laser light L3 is incident on the second beam splitter 52 (L3) at an incident angle of 45 deg and is reflected, and is bent 90 deg toward the optical axis parallel to the P-polarized component L3P. As a result, the S-polarized component L3S and the P-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3 are combined and output in 201219830. Here, after the S-polarized component L3S is separated from the P-polarized component L3P, it is again reflected by the ray path reflected by the pair of total reflection mirrors 42 (L3) and 43 (L3) (the ray path length difference providing unit). Since it is synthesized to the P-polarized component L3P, the geometrical ray path length of the S-polarized component L3S is longer than the P-polarized component L3P by the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) and the second total reflection mirror 42 (L3). The distance D1 (D1 = the distance between the third total reflection mirror 43 (L3) and the second partial beam splitter 52 (L3)) is twice. Then, when the S-polarized component L3S and the P-polarized component L3P are synthesized at the second partial beam splitter 52 (L3), the phase of the S-polarized component L3S is later than the P-polarized component L3P, so that the synthesized laser light L3 is made. The pulse width is longer than the pulse width when the laser light L3 of the first partial beam splitter 51 (L3) is incident, and the phase difference portion (light path length difference portion) is extended. In other words, the P-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3 and the S-polarized component L3S of the laser light L3 whose phase is later than the P-polarized component L3P are combined on the same optical axis and are separated from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L3). Output. As described above, the optical system in which the pulse width is extended by the combination of the first partial beam splitter 51, the second partial beam splitter 52, the second total reflection mirror 42, and the third total reflection mirror 43 is separately set as processing. The optical system of the laser light L2 having a wavelength of 532 nm reflected by the dichroic beam splitter 32 and the optical system for processing the laser light L1 of the wavelength 15 201219830 1064 nm reflected by the first total reflection mirror 41. In other words, the laser light L2 having a wavelength of 532 nm reflected by the second dichroic beam splitter 32 is separated into the p-polarized component L2P and the S-polarized component L2S at the first beam splitter 51 (L2). Then, the S-polarized component L2S is reflected by the pair of total reflection mirrors 42 (L2), 43 (L2) and travels along the meandering ray path, giving a ray path length difference (phase) between the P-polarized component L2P traveling with the straight line. The difference between the S-polarized component L2S and the P-polarized component L2P is combined in the second partial beam splitter 52 (L2) to emit the laser light L2 having the pulse width extended from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L2). Similarly, the laser light L1 at the wavelength i 〇 64 nm reflected by the first total reflection mirror 41 is separated into the p-polarized component L1P and the S-polarized component L1S by the first beam splitter 51 (L1). Then, the S-polarized component L1S is reflected by the pair of total reflection mirrors 42 (L1), 43 (L1) and travels along the meandering light path 'to impart a light path length difference (phase) between the P-polarized component Lip that travels with the straight line After the difference, the S-polarized component L1S and the P-polarized component L1P are combined in the second partial beam splitter 52 (L1) to emit the laser light L1 from the second partial beam splitter 52 (li). As described above, the laser beam L1 to L3 of the respective wavelengths are subjected to the extension pulse width processing and the processing of combining and outputting the laser light L1 to L3 of the respective wavelengths by the following configuration. The fourth total reflection mirror 44 having a mirror surface parallel to the polarizing film 201219830 of the second partial beam splitter 52 (L1) is provided on the optical axis of the laser light L1 emitted from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L1). The laser light L1 emitted from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L1) enters and reflects at an incident angle of 45 deg with respect to the fourth total reflection mirror 44, and travels 90 degrees toward the upper side of FIG. In other words, the laser light L1 composed of the P-polarized component L1P and the S-polarized component L1S whose phase is later than the p-polarized component L1P is reflected by the fourth total reflection mirror 44, and the direction is turned into orthogonal (cross) to the laser light LS. The direction of the optical axis of (laser light L3). Further, the intersection of the optical axis of the reflected light of the fourth total reflection mirror 44 and the optical axis of the light emitted from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L2) is arranged such that the mirror surface is parallel to the fourth total reflection mirror 44. The third dichroic beam splitter 33 (synthesis wavelength conversion unit). The characteristics of the third dichroic beam splitter 33 are similar to those of the second dichroic beam splitter 32. Laser light L1 having a wavelength of l 〇 64 nm penetrates, and laser light L2 having a wavelength of 532 nm is reflected. Then, the laser light that is reflected by the fourth total reflection mirror 44 and incident on the third dichroic beam splitter 33 penetrates the third dichroic beam splitter 33, but is emitted from the second beam splitter 52 (L2). L2 (the laser beam L2P and the laser light L2 composed of the S-polarized component L2S whose phase is later than the P-polarized component L2P) are incident on the third dichroic beam splitter 33 at an incident angle of 45 deg and are reflected, and are bent 9 The laser light u that travels through the third dichroic beam splitter 33 is 合成 合成 合成 合成 0 此处 此处 此处 此处 此处 几何 几何 几何 几何 几何 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 The distance L2 between the second dichroic beam splitter 32 and the first total reflection mirror 41 (D2 = the distance between the fourth total reflection mirror 44 and the dichroic beam splitter 33) is longer than the laser light L2, and thus the third distance is obtained. The two-color spectroscope 33 is delayed from the laser light L2 to emit the laser light L1. Further, since the laser light L2 is composed of the P-polarized component L2P and the S-polarized component L2S whose phase is later than the P-polarized component L2P, the laser light L1 is composed of the p-polarized component L1P and the phase is longer than the p-polarized component L1P. Since the S-polarized component L1S is formed later, the P-polarized component L2P, the S-polarized component L2S, the P-polarized component LIP, and the S-polarized component L1S are outputted from the third dichroic beam splitter 33 in the order of 'the second dichroic beam splitter'. A polarizing surface is disposed at an intersection of an optical axis of the light emitted from the mirror 33 (synthesized light of the laser light L1 and L2) and an optical axis of the light emitted from the second beam splitter 52 (L3) (the laser light L3) The fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 (synthesis wavelength conversion unit) parallel to the third dichroic beam splitter 33. The characteristics of the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 are similar to those of the first dichroic beam splitter 31. Laser light L3 having a wavelength of 355 nm penetrates, and laser light li and l2 of l〇64 nm and 532 nm are reflected. Then, the laser beams U and L2 emitted from the third dichroic beam splitter 33 are incident on the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 at an incident angle of 45 deg and are reflected, and are bent toward the right side of FIG. 2 by 90 deg. The laser light L3 emitted from the second partial beam splitter 52 (L3) passes through the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 and travels. 201219830 Thereby, the light emitted from the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 is a combination of the laser light U, L2, and L3. Here, when incident on the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34, the geometric light path length of the laser light L2 is longer than the laser light L3 by the distance D3 between the first dichroic beam splitter 31 and the second dichroic beam splitter 32 (D3= The distance between the third dichroic beam splitter 33 and the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 is twice as long as the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 is delayed from the laser beam L3 to emit the laser beam L2. Then, the order of emission from the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 is laser light L3, laser light L2, and laser light L1, and more specifically, p-polarized component L3P, S-polarized component L3S, and P-polarized component L2P, S. The polarized component L2S, the P polarized component LIP, and the S polarized component L1S are sequentially output. That is, the fourth dichroic beam splitting is reached by the first dichroic beam splitter 31, the second dichroic beam splitter 32, the first total reflection mirror 41, the fourth total reflection mirror 44, and the third dichroic beam splitter 33 with respect to the laser light L1. The mirror 34, the laser light L2 reaches the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 via the first dichroic beam splitter 31, the second dichroic beam splitter 32, and the third dichroic beam splitter 33, and the laser beam L3 is from the first dichroic beam splitter. 31 arrives at the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34, and therefore becomes "the length of the light path of the laser light u" ^ "the length of the light path of the laser light L2" > "the length of the light path of the laser red 3". Then, 'the phase of the laser light L2 is later than the laser light L3 due to the difference in the length of the above-mentioned domain path. Furthermore, the phase 201219830 of the laser light u is later than the laser light L2, so from the fourth dichroic beam splitter 34 As described above, the emission order is the order of the laser light L3 (wavelength 355), the laser light L2 (wavelength 532 nm), and the laser light L1 (wavelength i 〇 64 nm). In the laser annealing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, The semiconductor film is irradiated in the order of laser light L3 (wavelength 355), laser light L2 (wavelength 532 nm), and laser light L1 (wavelength i 〇 64 nm;). Further, since each of the laser beams L1 to L3 combines the P-polarized components L1P to L3P with the s-polarized components L1S to L3S whose phases are later than the p-polarized components L1P to L3P on the same optical axis, the output is performed. 4 The order of emission of the dichroic beam splitter 34 becomes the p-polarized component L3P of the laser light L3, the S-polarized component L3S of the laser light L3, the P-polarized light of the laser light L2 becomes L2P, the S-polarized component L2 S of the laser light L2, and the laser beam. The order of the P-polarized component L1P of L1 and the S-polarized component us of the laser light L1. According to the above configuration, since the first beam splitter 51 separates the laser light of a single wavelength by the polarization component, the total reflection mirrors 42 and 43 are used to cause one of the polarization components to travel along the bypassed light path, and The partial beam splitter 52 synthesizes one of the polarization components after the relocation (after giving the difference in the length of the light path) and the other polarization component of the straight line to extend the pulse width, so that the laser beam after extending the pulse width can be used as the beam Shoot in one direction and use it effectively. That is, two laser light beams having a difference in length of the light path are incident on the beam splitter (half lens) and combined, since the synthesized two laser beams are reflected and penetrated at the combining beam splitter.

On the other hand, as long as the first beam splitter 51 separates the laser light by the polarization component and the difference in the length of the light path, the second beam splitter _ 52 is combined to form a polarization direction. It is determined that the second partial beam splitter 52 can be penetrated or reflected by the second partial beam splitter 52. This can synthesize the two laser beams that give the difference in the length of the light path into a light beam of one direction and It is emitted so that the laser light can be effectively utilized 'and since the laser light does not escape to the outside of the light path', there is no need to ensure the return of the utilization efficiency, thereby avoiding the waveform change caused by the reflow. Further, as described in the present embodiment, the fundamental wave L1, the second high-frequency wave L2, and the laser light are separated by wavelength by the two-color beam splitter 31 and %, and the pulse widths of the separated laser light L1 to U are extended. After the processing, in order to guide the separated laser light U to L3 to the light (four) system corresponding to each of the laser beams L1 to U for extending the pulse width, the difference in the length of the light path is given between the recorded laser beams U to L3. When the laser light L1 to u is synthesized, it is emitted in the order corresponding to the difference in length of the light path. θ Here, since the wavelength of the light path of the laser light L1 to L3 can be arbitrarily set by selecting the wavelength that will penetrate the dichroic beam splitter, for example, in the annealing, the power or absorption rate of each of the laser light L1 to L32 can be based on The laser light L1 to L3 are emitted in an appropriate irradiation order, such as a difference or the like. 21 201219830 In the case of the present embodiment, since the laser light L1 having the fundamental wavelength of the maximum irradiation power is finally applied, it is possible to avoid damage to the underlying film of the amorphous germanium film due to the laser light L1 having a large initial irradiation power. By setting the wavelength at which the two-color spectroscope penetrates and reflects, even if the laser light of the fundamental wavelength is irradiated in the second round, the underlying film of the amorphous ruthenium film can be prevented from being damaged. Further, the laser light including any of the second high-frequency wave and the third high-frequency wave and the fundamental wave may be an apparatus for extending the pulse width. That is, the types of wavelengths included in the laser light are not limited to three types, and the number of separation stages of the two-color spectroscope is increased or decreased by increasing or decreasing the wavelength type, and the partial beam splitter Μ, 52 and the number of the separation stages are set.

Further, by causing the laser light L1 reinforced by the laser cavity 73 to be crystallized by SHG and THG, the laser light LS including the fundamental wave, the second harmonic wave, and the third high-frequency wave is again generated, and the laser light is emitted. The LS is incident on the dichroic beamsplitters 31 to 34, the total reflection mirrors 41 and 44, and the optical beam splitters 51 and 52 and the optical systems constituting the total reflection mirrors 42 and 43 to extend the pulse width in more stages. Further, the high refractive index optical medium 61 may be further provided in the structure including the laser cavity 73. Further, by arranging the attenuator at least one of the light paths of the separated laser beams L1 to L3 after separation, the intensity balance between the laser beams L1 to L3 at the time of final synthesis and emission can be adjusted. 23 201219830 Further, although the above embodiment shows an example in which the laser generating apparatus and the laser generating method of the present invention are used in the laser annealing apparatus 1, the application is not limited to the laser annealing apparatus 1. Further, in the above embodiment, the total reflection mirror, the partial beam splitter, and the two-color spectroscope are configured to bend the laser light by 9 deg, but the bending angle is not limited to 90 deg (the incident angle is 45 deg), for example, FIG. 5 (A) And (B), it may be bent in a direction obliquely intersecting with respect to the optical axis of the incident light. In the example shown in FIG. 5(A), the partial beam splitter 51 and the total reflection mirror 42 are provided as a polarizing surface, and the reflecting surface is inclined by 45 deg with respect to the optical axis of the incident light to make the incident angle 45 deg. The reflected light of the splitter 51 and the reflected light of the total reflection mirror 42 travel in a direction in which the optical axis of the incident light intersects 90deg (that is, an orthogonal direction), but the reflected light from the total reflection mirror 42 is incident. The total reflection mirror 43 is disposed such that the incident angle is greater than 45 deg, and the reflected light intersects obliquely with the optical axis of the incident light at the total reflection mirror 43. Then, the partial beam splitter 52 is disposed in parallel with the total reflection mirror 43, and the reflected light of the total reflection mirror 43 intersecting obliquely with the reflection light of the partial beam splitter 51 and the reflection of the total reflection mirror 42 The optical axis of the light transmitted by the partial beam splitter 52 and the beam splitter 51 is substantially folded in the same direction. Further, Fig. 5(b) shows an example in which the incident angle is set to be larger than 45 for the combination of the partial beam splitter 51 and the total reflection mirror 42.

In Fig. 6, the characteristic of the two-color beam splitter 82a is that only the laser light L1 will penetrate 'but the laser light L2, L3 will reflect, and the characteristic of the two-color beam splitter 82b is that only the laser light L2 will penetrate, but the laser light LI, L3 will The reflection, while the characteristic of the dichroic beam splitter 82c is that only the laser light L3 will penetrate, but the laser light L1, L2 will reflect. Therefore, in the case of the same emission order (L3, L2, L1) as in Fig. 2, the laser beam LS is first separated by the dichroic beam splitter 82c, and then the laser beam L1 reflected by the dichroic beam splitter 82c is reflected by the dichroic beam splitter 82a. L2 is separated into laser light L1 and laser light L2, and then the light emitted from the total reflection mirror 44 and the light emitted from the polarization beam splitter 52 are synthesized by the dichroic beam splitter 82a. The synthesized laser light is synthesized by the dichroic beam splitter 82c. The light emitted from the partial beam splitter 51 may be used. On the other hand, for example, the laser light LS is first separated by the dichroic beam splitter 82a, and then the laser light L2 and L3 reflected by the dichroic beam splitter 82a are separated into the laser light L2 and the laser light L3 by the dichroic beam splitter 82b, and then the two colors are separated. The beam splitter 82b combines the light emitted from the total reflection mirror 44 and the light emitted from the partial beam splitter 52, and combines the two-color beam splitter 82a with the two-color beam splitter 82a to form the combined laser light and the beam splitter 51.
