A laser processing device includes a control unit, and the control unit executes a first process of controlling a laser irradiation unit according to a first processing condition set such that a modified region and a modified region are formed inside a wafer; a second process of identifying a state related to each of the modified regions, and of determining whether or not the first processing condition is proper; a third process of controlling the laser irradiation unit according to a second processing condition set such that the modified regions are formed and a modified region is formed between the modified regions in a thickness direction of the wafer inside the wafer; and a fourth process of identifying a state related to each of the modified regions, and of determining whether or not the second processing condition is proper.

Laser processing device and laser processing method

A laser processing apparatus irradiates a target with a laser light to form a modified region along a virtual plane in the target. The laser processing apparatus includes a support portion, an irradiation portion, a movement mechanism, and a controller. The controller performs a first processing process of irradiating a first portion in the target with the laser light under a first processing condition, and a second processing process of irradiating a second portion more on an inner side than the first portion in the target with the laser light under a second processing condition different from the first processing condition, after the first processing process.

Laser processing apparatus and laser processing method

A laser processing apparatus includes an irradiation portion, and a controller. The irradiation portion includes a shaping portion configured to shape the laser light. The controller includes: a determination portion configured to determine a first and a second orientation; a processing controller configured to perform a first process of forming the modified region along a first region and stopping formation of the modified region other than the first region, and a second process of forming the modified region along a second region and stopping formation of the modified region other than the second region; and an adjustment portion configured to adjust the orientation of the longitudinal direction to be the first orientation when the first process is performed, and to adjust the orientation of the longitudinal direction to be the second orientation when the second process is performed.
