Further, in the housing (second housing) 11 of the laser machining head 10D, the fourth wall portion 24 is located on the laser machining head 10C side with respect to the third wall portion 23, and the sixth wall portion 26 is the fifth wall. It is attached to the attachment portion 66 so as to be located on the support portion 7 side with respect to the portion 25.
- the laser processing head and the laser processing apparatus of the present disclosure are not limited to those for forming a modified region inside the object 100, and may be for performing other laser processing.
- An example of the operation of the laser processing apparatus 1 is as follows. It is assumed that the object 100 has a plurality of lines extending in the X direction and arranged in the Y direction. In such a state, the control unit 9 scans the laser beam L1 in the X direction for one line and the second scan process for scanning the laser beam L2 in the X direction for another line. The processing is executed so as to overlap at least for a part of the time. In particular, the control unit 9 executes the first scan process in order from the line located at one end of the object 100 in the Y direction toward the inner line in the Y direction, while the other of the object 100 in the Y direction. The second scan process can be executed in order from the line located at the end of the line toward the inner line in the Y direction. As a result, the throughput can be improved.
- the control unit 9 positions the focusing point of the laser light L1 at the first position in the Z direction in the first state in which the laser processing heads 10A and 10B are arranged on one line.
- the focusing point of the laser beam L2 is set to the second position in the Z direction (on the incident surface side of the first position).
- the second scan process of scanning the laser beam L2 in the X direction with respect to the one line while being positioned at the position of) is executed.
- control unit 9 performs the first scan process and the second scan process while setting the condensing point of the laser beam L2 at a position separated from the condensing point of the laser beam L1 by a predetermined distance or more in the direction opposite to the X direction. Run.
- the predetermined distance is, for example, 300 ⁇ m.
- An example of the operation of the laser processing device 1 is as follows. At least one of a first scan process in which the control unit 9 scans the laser beam L1 in the X direction for one line and a second scan process for scanning the laser beam L2 in the X direction for another line.
- the imaging process for imaging is executed. In the imaging process, light that passes through the object 100 (for example, light in the near infrared region) is used. As a result, the success or failure of the laser machining can be confirmed non-destructively by utilizing the time when the first scanning process is not performed.
- the laser processing apparatus 1 performs a peeling process for peeling a part of the object 100.
- the laser processing heads 10A and 10B irradiate the laser beams L1 and L2, respectively, and control the movement of the focusing points of the laser beams L1 and L2 in the horizontal direction.
- a modified region is formed along the virtual surface inside the object 100.
- a part of the object 100 can be peeled off with the modified region extending over the virtual surface as a boundary.
- the laser processing apparatus 1 performs a trimming process for removing an unnecessary portion of the object 100.
- the laser processing heads 10A and 10B are rotated based on the rotation information of the support portion 7 with the condensing point positioned along the peripheral edge of the effective region of the object 100 while rotating the support portion 7.
- a modified region is formed along the peripheral edge of the effective region in the object 100.
- An example of the operation of the laser processing device 1 is as follows. With respect to the object 100 having the functional element layer on the front surface side, the laser beam L1 is irradiated to the functional element layer along the line from the back surface of the object 100, and a weakened region is formed in the functional element layer along the line. .. From the back surface of the object 100, the inside of the object 100 is irradiated with a laser beam L2 having a pulse width shorter than the pulse width of the laser beam L1 so as to follow the laser beam L1 along the line. By irradiating the laser beam L2, a crack reaching the surface of the object 100 is surely formed along the line by utilizing the weakened region.
