Abstract
A laser processing process which comprises laser annealing a silicon film 2 μm or less in thickness by irradiating a laser beam 400 nm or less in wavelength and being operated in pulsed mode with a pulse width of 50 nsec or more, and preferably, 100 nsec or more. A laser processing apparatus which comprises a laser generation device and a stage for mounting thereon a sample provided separately from said device, to thereby prevent transfer of vibration attributed to the movement of the stage to the laser generation device and the optical system. A stable laser beam can be obtained to thereby improve productivity.
