Description of the invention: 'Technical field to which the invention pertains>> The present invention relates to a laser processing apparatus and a laser processing method. [Prior Art] As a method of correcting a so-called wiring defect such as a broken portion of a wiring formed on a substrate, a laser CVD method is known (C hemica 1 V a ρ 〇r D epositi ο n; chemical vapor deposition method) The processing method of the method (for example, Patent Document 1). This is a method in which a conductive film is deposited on a disconnection portion or a path bypassing the bypass path of the disconnection portion by a laser CVD method to electrically connect the disconnection portion of the wiring. Figures 6(a) and (b) show the construction of the related laser processing apparatus. In the laser processing apparatus shown in Fig. 6(a), the slit 9, the relay lens 11, the objective lens 12, the louver 14, and the substrate 15 as a workpiece are sequentially arranged along the optical path of the laser light 8. Next, the method of correcting the wiring defects of the laser processing apparatus shown in Fig. 6(a) is as follows. The laser light 8 expanded by the dilator (not shown) is cut from the rectangular laser light 10 by the slit 9 having the rectangular opening portion 9a. As shown in Fig. 6(b), the slit 9 has teeth 27a and 27b which are movable in the X direction of the drawing, and teeth 28a and 28b which are movable in the Y direction of the drawing. In addition, in the 6th (b) figure, the structure of the slit 9 other than the above is abbreviate|omitted. The laser light 10 that is cut out is imaged by a relay lens 11 and an objective lens 12 to form a rectangular image 13 of a predetermined size. Further, the material gas of the laser CVD method is supplied to the substrate 15 from the louver 14 provided under the objective lens 12. Thus, the conductive film 1376749 is formed on the exposed surface by the shape of the image 13 (Invention Effect) According to the present invention, the processing conditions are changed by using a slit having a correction shape set in advance according to the wiring pattern of the workpiece. The conductive film is formed at one time in its corrected shape. Thereby, the processing quality can be maintained, and the correction processing time of the disconnection portion of the wiring can be greatly shortened as compared with the conventional configuration. The present invention has the following features. In the laser processing apparatus of the present invention, the shape of the laser light is defined by a slit-like mask provided in advance with the wiring pattern. Then, the predetermined laser light is imaged on the disconnection portion of the wiring formed on the substrate (such as a wiring defect such as a disconnection), and the disconnection portion is corrected by a laser chemical vapor deposition method. Thereby, the correction processing time can be greatly shortened by comparing the method in which the scanning beam is scanned as a moment and the shaped beam is corrected in a desired shape. In this case, a slit conversion means may be provided to move the mask to change the shape of the slit. Further, the slit shape may include at least a linear shape and a shape that is connected by bypassing the broken portion. The meandering shape can be set to, for example, a π shape or the like. Further, the slit shape may further include a predetermined mark shape for identification on the substrate. Thereby, in addition to the wiring correction, for example, printing can be performed on the substrate. In addition, the laser CVD method is performed by a so-called gas curtain method in which the cleaning gas partially seals the material gas of the laser CVD method, whereby the processing can be performed efficiently. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, specific drawings will be specifically described with reference to additional drawings. Embodiments of the invention. In the matching of the 1376749 view three-dimensional step, the object line is missing in the shape of the first shape, for example, by the conversion, and is also cleaned. 1 5 » The broken part of the part 1 (a) is a laser processing showing the embodiment. Fig. 1(b) is a view showing a slit mask used in the laser processing apparatus. Further, the present invention can be implemented, for example, by a semiconductor manufacturing step and a liquid crystal manufacturing process. However, in the present specification, the correction of the line defect in the liquid crystal manufacturing step will be described. As shown in Fig. 1(a), in the laser processing apparatus of the present embodiment, the slit mask 20, the relay lens 11 mirror 12, the louver 14, and the substrate as the workpiece are sequentially arranged along the optical path of the laser light 8. 15. • As shown in Fig. 1(b), the slit mask 20 is formed into a slit having a pattern shape that matches the shape of the correction processing portion (the broken portion). The straight linear slit 23 and the n-shaped rounded slit 24 are formed, but various slits other than these shapes may be formed. The slit mask 20 may be made of, for example, metal or glass, or may be configured to include a mirror or the like. Further, the slit mask 20 can be moved by the mechanism 21 in the XY plane in the drawing surface, whereby the slit shape of the laser light 8 can be irradiated. The relay lens 11 and the objective lens 12 together constitute an optical system for use on the laser light imaging plate 15. In addition to the configuration shown in Fig. 1(a), for example, another lens may be added to the optical path. The gas window 14 is disposed such that the surface having the CVD material gas outlet, the gas outlet, and the gas inlet (none of which is shown) is close to the substrate, and as described later, the correction can be applied to the substrate 15 during the correction processing. A so-called gas curtain is formed around it. A wiring of a liquid crystal device is formed on the substrate 15, and defects such as 1376749 in the wiring are corrected by a laser CVD method using the laser processing apparatus of the present invention. In order to align the position of the correction processing portion with the light path of the laser beam 8, the substrate 15 is placed on the XY table (not shown) so as to be parallel to the XY plane of the drawing surface, and the XY operation can be performed by this. The table moves in the X direction or the Y direction of the drawing. Further, the laser irradiation system (the laser beam 8, the slit mask 20, the laser beam 8, the relay lens 11, the objective lens 12, and the louver 14) can be moved to align the optical path of the laser light 8 to the substrate 15. Correction processing department. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, the correction processing portion on the substrate 15 is moved on the optical path of the laser light 8 by operating the operation table. Then, in accordance with the shape of the corrected processed portion, an appropriate pattern is selected from the pattern of the slit shape of the slit mask 20, and the pattern selected by the switching mechanism 21 is moved to the optical path of the laser light 8. Next, a so-called gas curtain is formed around the correction processing portion. A method of forming a gas curtain is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-347242. In the present embodiment, the source gas of the CVD is supplied from the material gas blowing port of the surface of the louver 14 provided on the substrate 15 side so as to cover the correction processing portion. Then, a cleaning gas for sealing the CVD material gas is supplied from the cleaning gas outlet port. The clean gas system uses, for example, nitrogen. Further, the CVD material gas and the cleaning gas are sucked from the gas suction port provided at the position on the outer (cleaning gas) side of the CVD material gas sealed by the cleaning gas. Thereby, the CVD material gas of the coating correction processing portion is sealed in the space formed by the gas window Η, the substrate 15 and the cleaning gas (gas curtain). Further, the formation of the gas curtain can be performed before the movement of the substrate 15 and the slit mask 20. -10- 1376749 After the gas curtain is formed, a conductive film is deposited in the correction processing portion by laser CVD by irradiating the laser light 8 amplified by a dilator (not shown). At this time, the optical system of the relay lens 11 and the objective lens 12 causes the laser light 8 passing through the slit portion of the slit mask 20 to image the image 13 of a predetermined size on the substrate 15. The shape of this image 13 is a shape similar to the shape of the slit of the slit mask 20 selected in advance. The correction processing portion for imaging the image 13 can be, for example, a linear linear wiring 6 as shown in the second (a) diagram or a three-shaped circular wiring 7 as shown in the second (b) diagram. shape. Further, in the second (a) and (b) drawings, in order to simplify the illustration, the display of the wiring or the like other than the corrected processed portion is omitted. The correction wiring of the shape shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) is formed, for example, on the wiring shown in Fig. 3(a). Fig. 3(a) is a plan view showing a wiring structure in which a data line 1, a gate line 2, and a transistor 3 as a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) are formed on a substrate. As shown in Fig. 3(a), the data line 1 and the gate line 2 constituting the liquid crystal wiring pattern are arranged in a lattice on the substrate 15. Further, a plurality of electro-crystal bodies 3 are formed on the gate line 2. In the third (a) diagram, wiring defects are left, which are similar to the disconnection defect 4 generated in the wiring forming step, and the pattern shape of the broken portion due to etching or the like in the step of forming the transistor 3. Defect 5. In the case where the wiring defects of these are corrected, as shown in Fig. 3(b), the linear wiring 6 is formed at the position of the broken defect 4 of the third figure (a). Further, the bypass wiring 7 is formed at the position of the pattern shape defect 5 of the third (a) figure. Fig. 4(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in Fig. 3(b), Fig. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB shown in Fig. 3(b), and Fig. 3(c) is a view 3(b) 1376749 A cross-sectional view of the CC line shown. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4(a), the first linear wiring 6a and the second straight line are sequentially formed from the substrate 15 side so as to connect the disconnecting portions of the data lines 1 formed on the substrate 15. Wiring 6b. Each of the first linear wiring 6a and the second linear wiring 6b is a conductive film. Further, as shown in the fourth (b) and (c), the first bypass wiring 7a and the second routing wiring 7b are sequentially formed from the substrate side by connecting the pattern shape defects (broken portions) of the data line 1. . The first bypass wiring 7a and the second winding wiring 7b are also electrically conductive films. As shown in Fig. 4(c), the insulating film 25 is formed on the gate line 2 before the first turn-around wiring 7a is formed at the portion spanning the gate line 2. The wiring defects such as the disconnection defect 4 and the pattern shape defect 5 are corrected by forming the correction wiring as described above. Further, the reason why the correction wiring having the two-layer structure described above is formed will be described later. As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the conductive film can be formed at one time by the laser CVD method in accordance with the shape pattern of the corrected processed portion. As a result, the correction processing time can be greatly shortened, and the speed can be increased.
