A substrate processing method for forming a space extending along a predetermined line in a silicon substrate includes a first step of converging a laser light which is an elliptically-polarized light having an ellipticity other than 1 at the substrate so as to form a plurality of modified spots within the substrate along the line and produce a modified region including the modified spots, and a second step of anisotropically etching the substrate so as to advance an etching selectively along the modified region and form the space in the substrate. In the first step, the light is converged at the substrate such that a moving direction of the light with respect to the substrate and a direction of polarization of the light form an angle of 45° or greater therebetween, and the modified spots are made align in one row along the line.

Method for processing of material by use of a pulsed laser, comprising generating a series of ultra-short laser pulses (22),directing each laser pulse (22) to the material with defined reference to a respectively assigned processing point (26) of a processing path (25), and focussing each laser pulse (22) so that respective focal points of the focussed laser pulses (22) comprise pre-defined spatial relations to a first surface (2) of the material, wherein each emitted laser pulse (22) effects a respective crack (24) within the material. According to the invention, each laser pulse is shaped regarding its beam profile so that a cross sectional area, which is defined by a cross section of the laser pulse in its focal point orthogonal to its propagation direction, is of asymmetric shape and defines a main extension axis (A) as to its asymmetric extension. One major crack (24) is effected by each laser pulse (22), the major crack (12,24) having a lateral extension basically oriented according to the main extension axis (A) of the respective pulse in the focal point. Furthermore, each laser pulse (22) is emitted so that the orientation of its main extension axis (A) in the focal point corresponds to a pre-defined orientation relative to an orientation of a respective tangent to the processing path (25) at the assigned processing point (26)

摘要:
A method and an apparatus for forming a groove in a substrate are described. The method comprises providing a substrate having a surface and providing a heating spot in a region of the surface. Heat is applied to the substrate through the heating spot. The heating spot has a first dimension in a first direction and a second dimension in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first dimension is greater than the second dimension. The heating spot is moved on the surface relative to the substrate at least partially along the first direction, while applying heat to the substrate through the heating spot, such that material of the substrate previously subjected to the heating spot is lifted from the substrate.

Methods of forming scribe vents in a strengthened glass substrate having a compressive surface layer and an inner tension layer are provided. In one embodiment, a first and second defect is formed to partially expose the inner tension layer. A first scribe vent may be generated in a first scribing direction by translating a laser beam and a cooling jet on a surface of the strengthened glass substrate at a first scribing speed. A second scribe vent intersecting the first scribe vent may be generated in a second scribing direction by translating the laser beam and the cooling jet on the surface of the strengthened glass substrate at a second scribing speed that is greater than the first scribing speed. The defects may be perpendicular to the scribing directions. In another embodiment, the first scribe vent may be fused at an intersection location prior to generating the second scribe vent.
