Abstract

An inspection device includes: a laser irradiation unit; an imaging unit; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to execute a processing process of controlling the laser irradiation unit according to a recipe set such that a plurality of modified regions are formed inside a wafer by irradiating the wafer with a laser beam and a full-cut state where cracks extending from the modified regions have reached a back surface and a surface is attained; an identification process of identifying a state of the crack on the back surface extending from the modified region, and a state of at least one of the modified regions and the cracks inside the wafer, based on a signal; and a determination process of determining whether or not a dicing force applied to the wafer according to the recipe is proper, based on information identified in the identification process.
