Abstract
Provided is a laser annealing apparatus causing laser light to be radiated to processing receiving areas arranged, out of a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, along at least the second direction and move a batch radiation area and a workpiece in the first direction, and the laser annealing apparatus includes an energy density measuring apparatus measuring the energy density at, out of first and second ends of the batch radiation area in the second direction, at least the second end, an energy density adjusting apparatus adjusting the energy density at the first end, and a controller controlling the energy density adjusting apparatus. The energy density at the first end when (N+1)-th scanning is performed is so adjusted that the energy density at the first end in an (N+1)-th scan area approaches the energy density at the second end in the N-th scan area.
