Abstract
A multi-wavelength optical apparatus for laser processing, alignment and observation employs dichroic mirrors, which, by virtue of their wavelength characteristics, affect a processing laser beam differently from alignment and observation light. A projection optical system and a dichroic mirror form first and second images of an aperture on an object disposed on a movable stage from processing light and alignment light, respectively. The position of the second image relative to a reference is determined and automatically provides the position of the first image relative to the reference. The apparatus is used to repair microdefects in semiconductor circuit elements, for example.
