    摘要: There is provided a wafer processing method for dividing a wafer having a plurality of devices formed in regions partitioned by a plurality of crossing division lines on a front surface of a substrate having a birefringent crystal structure, into individual device chips. The wafer processing method includes a detection step of detecting the division line formed on the front surface of the wafer by an imaging unit from the back side of the wafer. In the detection step, a polarizer disposed on an optical axis connecting an imaging element and an image forming lens provided in the imaging unit intercepts extraordinary light appearing due to birefringence in the substrate and guides ordinary light to the imaging element.

    摘要: A method for detecting an internal crack in a wafer includes a first image recording step of applying near infrared light having a transmission wavelength to a reference wafer having the same configuration as a target wafer to be subjected to the detection of the internal crack, thereby obtaining a first image of the reference wafer having no internal crack and then recording the first image, a processing step of processing the target wafer, a second image recording step of applying the near infrared light to the target wafer, thereby obtaining a second image of the processed target wafer and then recording the second image, and an internal crack detecting step of removing the same image information between the first image and the second image from the second image to obtain a residual image, thereby detecting the residual image as the internal crack in the target wafer.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a wafer processing method including a cover plate providing step of providing a cover plate on the front side of a wafer to thereby form a composite wafer, a welding step of applying a laser beam along each division line formed on the front side of the wafer in the condition where the focal point of the laser beam is set at the interface between the wafer and the cover plate on opposite sides of the lateral center of each division line, thereby forming two parallel welded lines for joining the wafer and the cover plate along each division line, and a dividing step of forming a cut line between the two parallel welded lines formed along each division line, thereby cutting the composite wafer along each division line to obtain individual device chips each covered with the cover plate.

    摘要: A plate-shaped object processing method forms a through hole of a desired shape in a plate-shaped object. The method includes a through hole contour forming step of performing laser processing within the plate-shaped object along a contour of the through hole to be formed, by positioning, within the plate-shaped object, a focal point of a pulsed laser beam of a wavelength capable of passing through the plate-shaped object. The beam is applied along the contour of the through hole to be formed by a pulsed laser beam irradiation unit including a condenser applying the laser beams. A through hole is formed by breaking the laser-processed contour of the through hole and forming the through hole by positioning an ultrasonic transducer of an ultrasonic wave applying unit in correspondence with the contour of the through hole to be formed, and applying an ultrasonic wave.
