    摘要: A calculating section of a control unit calculates a vertical position Defocus for a condensing lens using a height value H1 of a modified layer in a wafer that is set by a setting section according to the equation (1) below. Defocus=(thickness T1 of wafer−height value H1−b)/a  (1) The calculating section calculates an appropriate vertical position for the condensing lens according to the equation (1) depending on the height value H1 of the modified layer that is set by the setting section. Therefore, the vertical position of the condensing lens in laser processing operation can be determined more easily, and a time-consuming and tedious experiment for fine adjustment of the vertical position of the condensing lens does not need to be conducted.

    摘要: An exposure system (10), an exposure apparatus and an exposure method are disclosed. The exposure system (10) includes: a laser unit (11), a light spot switching unit (12) and a lens unit (13); the laser unit (11) is configured for producing a laser beam; the light spot switching unit (12) is configured to direct the laser beam to travel along one of different optical paths based on a desired size of a light spot for a workpiece to be exposed so that a laser beam in correspondence with the desired size of the light spot is obtained; and the lens unit (13) is configured for altering a direction in which the laser beam is incident on the workpiece. The light spot switching unit (12) enables the laser beam to be switched between the different optical paths so as to form light spots sized in different ranges, which can satisfy different needs of workpieces with various critical dimensions. As a result, an improvement in processing adaptability to different workpieces and a significant reduction in cost can be achieved.

    摘要: A controller performs a first process of scanning a cylindrical irradiation region including a focused spot of laser light emitted from a laser light emitter to machine a flank face side of a workpiece to manufacture a cutting tool having a plurality of cutting edges arranged in line. In the first process, the controller scans the cylindrical irradiation region along a scanning path that has periodicity and changes a machining depth to form the plurality of cutting edges. The controller further performs a second process of scanning the cylindrical irradiation region including the focused spot of the laser light emitted in a direction different from an irradiation direction of the laser light in the first process to machine a rake face side of the workpiece.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for machining a transparent workpiece (4) by generating non-linear absorption of laser radiation in a laser beam focus located in a volume of the workpiece (4). The object of the invention is that of providing a method of improved precision and quality, and a corresponding device, for laser machining of workpieces. In particular, it is also intended for it to be possible for workpieces made of composite materials or of other special materials, such as filter glass, to be machined at an improved level of quality. For this purpose, the method according to the invention comprises the following steps: spectroscopic measurement of the linear absorption of the laser radiation in the workpiece (4), selecting a working wavelength at which the linear absorption is low, and machining the workpiece (4) by means of application of laser radiation at the working wavelength. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding device for machining a transparent workpiece (4).
