Abstract

PURPOSE:To form the marks in the specified depth with a low energy laser light by irradiating the same area of semiconductor substrate with plural pulse laser lights where the laser light spot diameters in each pulse are sequentially set smaller. CONSTITUTION:The area where the mark (c) on the semiconductor substrate (a) is irradated with the one pulse of first laser light L1. The first recessed area 12 is irradiated with one pulse of second laser light L2 in the same optical axis with the first laser light L1. The bottom part of the second recessed part 13 is irradiated with third laser light L3 of which energy is the same or lower than the second laser light L2 and spot diameter D3 is smaller than that of the spot diameter D2 of second laser light L2.

As described above, the present invention irradiates a plurality of pulsed laser beams onto the same location on a semiconductor substrate by sequentially decreasing the spot diameter of the laser beam for each pulse. Even if the depth is made small, a mark with a desired depth can be formed on the semiconductor substrate using a plurality of pulsed laser beams. In other words, it is possible to form a mark of a desired depth without causing scattering particles from the semiconductor substrate or depositing molten material with a height dimension that exceeds the allowable error. There is no possibility that flying objects will adhere to the surface of the device, or that melted material will not accumulate at a height exceeding the allowable error, making it impossible to reliably form the element.
