Abstract:
A method of forming a silicon nitride film on the surface of an object to be processed, the method including forming a seed layer functioning as a seed of the silicon nitride film on the surface of the object to be processed by using at least an aminosilane-based gas, prior to forming the silicon nitride film on the surface of the object to be processed.
Abstract:
A wafer dividing method for dividing a wafer having a film on the front side thereof. The wafer dividing method includes a modified layer forming step of applying a laser beam having a transmission wavelength to the substrate of the wafer from the front side thereof along the streets so that a focal point of the laser beam is set inside the substrate, thereby forming a modified layer in the substrate along each street, a film dividing step of applying a laser beam having an absorption wavelength to the film from the front side of the wafer along each street to thereby form a laser processed groove for dividing the film along each street, a back grinding step of grinding the back side of the substrate of the wafer to thereby reduce the thickness of the wafer to a predetermined thickness, a wafer supporting step of attaching the wafer to a dicing tape supported to an annular frame, and a wafer breaking step of applying an external force to the wafer by expanding the dicing tape to thereby break the wafer along each street.
Abstract:
A wafer laser processing method for forming deteriorated layers along a plurality of streets in the inside of a wafer having a device area where a plurality of areas are sectioned by the plurality of streets arranged in a lattice pattern on the front surface and devices are formed in the sectioned areas and having a peripheral excess area surrounding the device area, the surface of the device area being formed to be higher than the surface of the peripheral excess area, by applying a laser beam to the front surface of the wafer along the streets with its focal point set to the inside of the wafer, comprising a first deteriorated layer forming step for forming a deteriorated layer along the streets in the insides of the peripheral excess area and the device area by applying a laser beam to the peripheral excess area and the device area along the streets with its focal point set to the insides of the peripheral excess area and the device area from the front surface side of the wafer; and a second deteriorated layer forming step for forming a deteriorated layer along the streets in the inside of the device area by applying a laser beam to the device area along the streets with its focal point set to the inside of the device area without applying the laser beam to the peripheral excess area when the focal point of the laser beam is positioned near the front surface of the peripheral excess area.

Abstract:
A laser beam processing machine comprising a path distribution means for distributing a pulse laser beam oscillated by pulse laser beam oscillation means to a first path and a second path alternately, and one laser beam that passes through one of the paths and is converged by one condensing lens and the other laser beam that passes through the other path and is converged by the condensing lens are applied at different focusing points which have been displaced from each other in the direction of the optical axis, alternately with a time lag between them.

Abstract:
A method of dividing, along lattice pattern-like dividing lines, a wafer which has the lattice pattern-like dividing lines and a polymer film on the front surface of a substrate and is processed to allow for division along the dividing lines, the method comprising a frame holding step for putting the wafer on the surface of an adhesive tape mounted on an annular frame; a wafer cooling step for cooling the wafer that is affixed to the surface of the adhesive tape mounted on the annular frame; and a diving step for dividing the wafer along the dividing lines by expanding the adhesive tape to which the cooled wafer is affixed.
Abstract:
A fold-type cellular phone has a top unit, a bottom unit and a hinge coupling together the top unit and the bottom unit while allowing the top unit to turn and swivel with respect to the bottom unit. The top unit is first unfolded from a first folded position to an attitude angle of 160 to 170 degrees, and swiveled by 180 degrees to be folded onto the bottom unit in a second folded position at an attitude angle of 180 degrees. The swivel movement of the top unit causes a cam assembly to turn the top unit from the attitude angle of 160–170 degrees to an attitude angle of 180 degrees in the second folded position, thereby allowing the top unit to assume a suitable attitude with respect to the bottom unit.
