Abstract
When lines of vertical cracks due to thermal strain are formed for a plate made of a brittle material with a laser, the plate is irradiated with a laser beam along first lines in a first direction, and thereafter along second lines in a second direction crossing the first direction. When the second lines are scribed, depths of the generated vertical cracks are controlled to be shallower than those of the vertical cracks generated along the first lines in the first direction. The scribing is controlled by setting irradiation energy of the laser beam per unit area and per unit time in the second direction to be lower than that in the first direction. For example, moving speed of the laser spot relative to the plate is varied or output power of the laser beam is controlled on the irradiation energy.
