Abstract
A plate-shaped object processing method forms a through hole of a desired shape in a plate-shaped object. The method includes a through hole contour forming step of performing laser processing within the plate-shaped object along a contour of the through hole to be formed, by positioning, within the plate-shaped object, a focal point of a pulsed laser beam of a wavelength capable of passing through the plate-shaped object. The beam is applied along the contour of the through hole to be formed by a pulsed laser beam irradiation unit including a condenser applying the laser beams. A through hole is formed by breaking the laser-processed contour of the through hole and forming the through hole by positioning an ultrasonic transducer of an ultrasonic wave applying unit in correspondence with the contour of the through hole to be formed, and applying an ultrasonic wave.
