Abstract
A cutting apparatus includes a line sensor unit that applies a laser beam in a band shape elongated in a radial direction of a wafer to a region inclusive of a peripheral portion of the wafer held on a chuck table, and detects reflected light, and an information calculation section that calculates the position of the wafer and the height of the front surface of the wafer from the reflected light of the laser beam detected by the line sensor unit in a state in which the chuck table is rotated before the wafer is cut to form a stepped portion, and that calculates the width and the height of the stepped portion from the reflected light of the laser beam detected by the line sensor unit after the wafer is cut to form the stepped portion.
