- the second processing grinding
- Step S104 includes determining whether to reverse the substrate W based on the measurement result of the undulation of the first main surface Wa and the measurement result of the undulation of the second main surface Wb. For example, the control module may decide to flip the substrate W if the first work surface is facing down and not to flip the substrate W if the first work surface is facing up.
- step S105 When the substrate W needs to be inverted (step S105, YES), the control module 9 controls the inversion module 38 (see FIG. 6) and the like to invert the substrate W upside down (step S106).

- the laser beam LB may irradiate the entire first processing surface, or may irradiate only a part of the first processing surface. Even in the latter case, it is possible to flatten the first processing surface.
- the depth of the surface layer removed by the irradiation of the laser beam LB is controlled by the cumulative irradiation dose (unit: J), which is the product of the output of the laser beam LB (unit: W) and the irradiation time.
- the greater the cumulative dose the deeper the surface layer to be removed. Since the first processed surface has undulations, the depth of the removed surface layer differs depending on the location within the first processed surface.
- the control module 9 controls the cumulative irradiation amount of the laser beam LB per unit area of the first processing surface. Since the first processing surface has undulations, the control module 9 changes the integrated dose according to the location within the first processing surface.
- Control of the cumulative irradiation amount includes one or more selected from control of the output of the light source 31b and control of the irradiation time.
- Controlling the irradiation time includes, for example, controlling the number of times of irradiation. The greater the number of times of irradiation, the longer the irradiation time and the deeper the surface layer to be removed. Since the depth of the surface layer to be removed is proportional to the number of times of irradiation, it is easy to manage the depth of the surface layer to be removed.

- the identification information is stamped in the form of characters (including numbers), one-dimensional code, two-dimensional code, or the like.
- Step S108 includes cleaning the first processing surface of the substrate W after planarizing the first processing surface and before planarizing the second processing surface.
- Cleaning of the first processing surface includes at least one selected from, for example, scrub cleaning and acid cleaning. Debris scattered from the irradiation point P of the laser beam LB and adhering to the first processing surface can be removed by cleaning.
- Step S108 may include cleaning both the first processing surface and the second processing surface. Note that step S108 is not required if debris removal is not required.
- Step S109 includes flipping the substrate W.
- Step S109 includes, for example, turning the substrate W upside down so that the first processing surface of the substrate W faces downward and the second processing surface of the substrate W faces upward.
- Step S110 includes planarizing the first processing surface of the substrate W, then grinding the second processing surface of the substrate W opposite to the first processing surface to planarize the second processing surface.

- the tool driving section 513 drives the grinding tool 514 in contact with the second processing surface of the substrate W while the substrate W is held by the holding section 511 .
- the grinding tool 514 includes, for example, a disk-shaped grinding wheel 515 and a plurality of grindstones 516 arranged in a ring on the lower surface of the grinding wheel 515 .
- the tool driving section 513 includes a rotary motor and a transmission mechanism that transmits the rotary driving force of the rotary motor to the grinding tool 514 .
- the tool driving section 513 may further include an elevating mechanism for elevating the grinding tool 514 .
- Step S111 includes cleaning the second processing surface of the substrate W after planarizing the second processing surface.
- Cleaning of the second processing surface includes scrub cleaning, for example. Grinding waste adhering to the second processing surface can be removed by washing.
- Step S111 may include cleaning both the first processing surface and the second processing surface.
- Step S112 includes etching the second processing surface of the substrate W after cleaning the second processing surface. Etching the second processing surface can remove damage caused during grinding. In addition, the surface roughness of the second processed surface can be reduced by etching the second processed surface.

- the second processing surface can be flattened by grinding the second processing surface parallel to the first processing surface that has been flattened in advance.
- the first processed surface having undulations is attracted to the attracting surface of the holding portion 511, the first processed surface is flattened following the attracting surface.
- the second processing surface is ground parallel to the first processing surface, when the suction of the substrate W by the holding unit 511 is released, not only does the first processing surface return to the undulating state, but also the first processing surface returns to the undulating state.
- the same waviness as the first machined surface occurs on the second machined surface.
- the second processing surface can be flattened by grinding the second processing surface parallel to the first processing surface that has been flattened in advance.
- undulations present on both surfaces of the substrate W can be removed in a short period of time, and both surfaces of the substrate W can be planarized in a short period of time, as compared with the case where both surfaces of the substrate W are flattened with a laser beam. This is because the processing speed of laser processing is slower than that of grinding processing.
- the reason why both sides of the substrate W are not ground by the grinding tool 514 is that grinding is a technique for making one side of the substrate W the basis for making the opposite side parallel, and when both sides of the substrate W have undulations, flattening does not proceed. is.
- the substrates W can be planarized one by one, and the processing conditions can be changed for each substrate W. Therefore, both surfaces of the substrate W can be planarized in a short time compared to planarizing a plurality of substrates W having different undulations at the same time under the same processing conditions.
- the substrates W one by one it is easy to trace the history of the processing conditions of the substrates W, and it is easy to correct the processing conditions of the substrates W based on the processing results of the substrates W.
