Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of heating a portion of a brittle material substrate by irradiating a laser beam, and then cooling the heating portion to utilize thermal stress (tensile stress) generated on the substrate A method of processing a cracked brittle material substrate. Here, the brittle material substrate means a glass substrate, a ceramic tile of a sintered material, a semiconductor wafer, a sapphire substrate, a ceramic substrate, or the like. f \, and the crack" does not reach the back surface of the substrate at the front end in the depth direction. When the line "reach" reaches the back surface of the substrate, it is a dividing line (full dividing line, _ cut lme ). In the case of scribing, it is divided by performing a dividing process by applying a bending moment along a scribe line, or applying a crack to the deeper depth of the human substrate to divide it. In the following description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the term "crack = in" refers to a state in which the crack advances in the depth direction (thickness direction) of the substrate, and is advanced in the surface direction of the four-mark substrate (referred to as "Extension of the crack" is used differently. In addition, in the following description, "the 漤 疳 疳 此 τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ τ In order to directly divide, it is necessary to apply a large bending moment along the crack, and the field V & ^ ^ must therefore cause the crack to enter the crack in the thickness direction and then divide the crack. [Prior Art] A substrate of a brittle material such as a glass substrate can be used after being processed into an appropriate size or shape in each of the composite products. For example, the liquid display panel is usually formed by bonding a double-sided slab of a double-sided squeegee of a glass substrate, and the liquid crystal is injected into the gap between the two glass substrates, and then cut into wars. The step of displaying the substrate in the early position is made in 200914385. In the step of dividing the glass substrate, for example, the patent document uses a method in which a surface of the substrate is crimped to the cutter wheel, and the substrate is scribed with a scribe line, and then the scribe line is thick along the substrate. -' Apply a bending moment to break. Further direction In the use of the cutter wheel to form a scribe line (crack) _, in addition to the vertical crack along the thickness, it is also possible to produce a glass shoulder near the scribe line. In the case where the large-area glass substrate is formed vertically and horizontally to form a small unit substrate, the scribe line formed by the cutter wheel becomes extremely long. As the cumulative length becomes longer, the production machine = becomes higher, and the amount of glass produced increases. Once the ^: rate is more = the scribing forming device (crack forming device) is frequently cleaned, or the flying/stitching line is applied to the substrate to apply a bending moment. π 研 罝 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + = : =The formation of the pupil point, the softening temperature spray of the local heating plate below >Pile, 隹~, person, 诹,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In the step, the thermal stress of the substrate is formed into a scribe line, the stress is used to form a =, and when the small unit substrate is cut out from the mother board, the 纵 line of the vertical and horizontal lines is required to be performed, and when the mine is utilized, When the cross-hatching is produced, the large cracks (bad cracks) that cause defects are sometimes generated near the intersection of the scribing lines. In order to prevent this, there are 200914385 revealing that the conditions for controlling the laser scribing are shallower than The depth of the depth crack of the vertical crack in the first direction is 'relatively compared with the first direction; 'Text. 3'. The laser output with the line, or the second = second direction Φί ^ * scan speed faster than the scan speed in the first square, thus controlling The depth of the rift straight. Ί

To increase the heat input. The substrate temperature rises to an increase in 敎, and the temperature difference increases after cooling, whereby a large thermal stress (tensile stress) is generated, so that the crack can be deepened. However, it is necessary to increase the heat input to the substrate to increase the substrate temperature. Depending on the product, it may be desirable to avoid the substrate temperature rise. If the scanning speed is lowered to affect the productivity, it is preferable to form a crack as high as possible. On the other hand, another method of making the crack deeper is also disclosed (refer to Patent Document 4: First, the thermal energy intensity is a large beam spot at each end portion in the long axis direction, and the mother glass substrate is applied in two stages. The surface is heated. That is, after heating by a large thermal energy intensity, the first applied large amount of heat is actually conducted to the inside during heating by the smaller thermal energy intensity. At this time, 'there is not continued with a large thermal energy intensity. By heating the surface of the substrate, it is possible to prevent the surface of the substrate from softening. In the case of such heating, since the heat is transferred to the inside of the substrate, it is only cooled by the refrigerant forming the cooling point (cooling). A sufficient thermal stress gradient is obtained between the cooling point and the cooling point, so that deep vertical cracks cannot be formed. 200914385 Therefore 'for high efficiency and indeed forming a scribe line, behind the beam point, the cold part of the car (main cooling point) Closer to the side of the laser spot, and along the area of the scribe line (for example, in the embodiment i of Patent Document 4, near the rear end of the beam point of the beam point 55) Pre-injection auxiliary refrigerant cooled cold spot of potassium, and the auxiliary cooling point temperature of the refrigerant is set higher than the temperature of the primary coolant of the cooling point and the scanning point, and a main cooling auxiliary cooling point.

In the cross section, the section where the main cooling point MS is in the day and the dividing line p is the cc section. Figure 6 (b) shows the "A" of the main part (the middle point of the thickness direction) on the A-A' section, the surface area of the substrate and the temperature distribution in the substrate, and the cloth and thermal stress inside the substrate.

The temperature inside the substrate on the 彳 surface is sighed by the force, and after the sniper & ^, the first beam point BS passes, the center of the heat source is 200914385 The predetermined line p advances toward the inside of the substrate, and the heat transfer from the center of the heat source 'the result' forms an elliptical temperature distribution and is subjected to compressive stress from the vicinity of the substrate surface to the inside. Fig. ό (c) is expressed in Β-Βι A schematic diagram of the surface of the substrate and the temperature profile inside the substrate, and the temperature distribution and thermal stress inside the substrate. The B_B is cooled by the auxiliary cooling point AS, and the profile is on the surface of the substrate. The width of the cooling by the auxiliary cooling point AS is the same as the width heated by the beam spot BS, so that the vicinity of the surface of the substrate is gradually cooled in the entire width direction (the short-axis direction), so that the temperature peak is lowered as a whole. (In the figure, the broken line portion is a change due to cooling.) At this time, the inside of the substrate is immersed in the upward bulging peak due to the heat transferred from the surface to the inside of the substrate. The cooling is performed on the auxiliary cooling point AS. A weak tensile stress is generated on the surface, and the tensile stress generated at this time (due to insufficient stress concentration) cannot form a crack. Fig. 6 (d) shows the surface of the substrate on the c_Ci profile and the degree of resolution inside the substrate/ a knife layout, and a schematic diagram of the temperature distribution and thermal stress inside the substrate. On the cooling < c_c' section at the main cooling point MS, the entire substrate surface is cooled by the main cooling point Ms @force on the surface of the substrate. A large tensile stress is generated in the entire width square (short axis direction). At this time, the inside of the substrate remains upward due to the heat transferred from the surface to the inside of the substrate. The large peaks thus generate compressive stress. As a result, in the state where the tensile stress caused by the auxiliary cooling point 产生 is generated, the refrigerant is cooled by the formation of the main cooling point MS, and the tensile stress is strong. The surface has an effect. At this time, a deep crack is formed. Bu has not revealed such auxiliary cooling, and the depth of the crack is increased by about 1% compared with the case where the auxiliary cold 200914385 is not applied.

The reason is that the 'assisted cooling point mitigates the excess thermal shock as described above, so that the energy originally lost due to thermal shock is used for crack formation, so that weak tensile stress is generated on the surface of the substrate, but the crack is also caused. The second cooling point is formed after the passage of the main cooling point. Therefore, both the auxiliary cooling point and the main cooling point will affect the location of the crack formation position. Therefore, due to the shape of the two cooling points or the refrigerant injection pressure, the distance between the two cooling points, and the cooling of the II 2 ^ The scanning speed of the point is reduced, and the position of the crack is subtly changed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a processing method for forming cracks with higher stability than conventionally, and which can be deepened and which can accurately form the cracks formed along the predetermined line. In order to solve the above problems, the processing method of the present invention utilizes a predetermined line of δ and 疋 division on a substrate of a brittle material, so that the beam spot of the laser beam is heated at a temperature lower than the softening temperature along the dividing pre-t line (4). a heating step of the substrate, and a processing method for forming a cracked brittle material substrate along the dividing line by performing a cooling step of moving the trace of the beam spot along the scan by 200914385 with a cooling point formed by the refrigerant jet And the steps are continuously carried out (a) the first cooling step and (b) the second cooling: 4 'the above U) the first cooling step is such that the first cooling is formed to be smaller than the width of the beam spot Point tight = beam point for relative (four), thereby making the shallow crack W, the above (b second cooling: the step is to expand the width of the cooling point to be larger than the width of the beam point to form a second cooling point along The scan of the first cooling point is scanned for relative movement, thereby allowing the previously formed shallow crack to enter in the direction. According to the present invention, along the dividing line set on the substrate, Moving the beam point (ie, moving the beam point relative to the substrate, or moving the substrate relative to the beam spot), thereby locally heating the substrate. After heating, the relative movement is reduced to a width less than the beam spot width in the manner of following the beam spot. The first cooling point is subjected to a quenching treatment, and the surface material passing through the H point just after the movement is subjected to the hot state. Therefore, the quenching treatment is performed in the vicinity of the first cooling point, and is only near the top of the dividing line and near the surface. A large thermal stress (tensile stress) is locally generated, so that a crack is accurately formed along the line to be divided, x, and a crack is formed. Then γ is formed by expanding the width of the cooling point to be larger than the width of the beam point. The second · cooling 'point, the area where the temperature of the integral cooling beam spot rises. At this time, the cooling area becomes larger, and the larger tensile stress is applied to the whole portion cooled by the second cooling point. The first cooling step has been formed. In areas with shallow cracks, a larger tensile stress is applied, and as a result, shallower cracks will penetrate deeper in the depth direction. 200914385 is the first cooling The step of forming a shallow crack to cut the predetermined line to the exact crack, so as to form a crack along the position of the minute Chisaki, starting from the shallow crack formed previously, and making it deep into the cold step, according to the present invention, The shallower fissures are different: the cooling point of the piece is continuously deep in the shape of the crack. The position of the soap is stable in the position of the mark, and it can be better to make the width of the beam point reach the maximum in the center of the beam point. Therefore, the center of the beam spot is heated to the maximum, and the temperature difference between the center of the beam point is maximized by the first cooling, so that the concentrated portion of the thermal stress (stretching =) is the center of the beam spot, that is, the dividing line, so & cutting the pre-twisting line to accurately form a shallow crack. In the above invention, the first cooling step is preferably such that the first cooling point just passes through the in-plane temperature distribution perpendicular to the dividing line to sandwich the dividing line Forming a pair of high temperature regions on the left and right sides and cooling so that the yy degree of the segmentation line is lower than the temperature range of the above-mentioned temperature range, and by the pair of temperature regions The thermal stress generated by the temperature difference from the extremely small temperature region described above forms a shallow crack. Thereby, the temperature distribution perpendicular to the plane of the planned dividing line becomes a shape in which the extremely small temperature region is sandwiched between the two temperature peaks (high temperature region), and thus the thermal stress (tensile stress) is concentrated in a region having a very small temperature, which is at a temperature Very small areas form cracks accurately. In the above invention, the refrigerant may be contained in the refrigerant, and the first cooling point is formed by spraying a mist jet that sprays the refrigerant that atomizes the water, and the 12th 200914385 second cooling point is sprayed by a large range of water. After gasification, self-cooling is formed by vaporization cooling of the refrigerant lower than the above-mentioned atomizer. Here, the term "atomized refrigerant" refers to a process in which a refrigerant containing water is concentratedly sprayed toward a small area and is ejected from a nozzle in a state where it is difficult to vaporize, so that self-cooling phenomenon caused by vaporization of moisture does not occur and is ejected. The state of the refrigerant. When the atomized refrigerant is used, since the self-cooling does not occur, the temperature of the refrigerant does not decrease, and the smaller area can be concentrated and cooled. The term "gasification cooling" refers to a method in which a refrigerant containing f water is sprayed so as to diffuse water, and a self-cooling phenomenon caused by gasification of a water jet in a refrigerant from a nozzle nozzle in a state where it is easy to vaporize, and a refrigerant temperature Reduce and cool with a low temperature refrigerant. With gasification cooling, it is difficult to centrally cool a small area, but it can cool a wide area at a low temperature. With the present invention, it is easy to carry out a partial cold portion by means of atomized refrigerant, and on the other hand, it is strongly cooled by a gasification-cooled refrigerant. In the above invention, preferably, the relative moving speed of the beam spot, the first cooling point, and the second I cooling point is from 10 mm / sec to 72 〇 mm / sec. + according to the present invention, although there are differences in thickness, material, and processing method, by continuously performing the steps of forming a shallow crack and forming a deep crack, even if ΐθθ claws - seconds to 72 〇 ... seconds The speed is increased, and cracks can be surely formed along the line to be divided, so that cracks can be formed at a high speed.

The refrigerant injected from the first cooling nozzle 16a is sprayed by the nozzle so as to be misted. 15 200914385 The refrigerant injected from the second cooling nozzle 丨6b faces the end portion of the first cooling point cs^, or a portion partially overlapping the first cooling point, or slightly away from the rear end of the first cooling point CS1, on the glass substrate The surface of the eight forms a second cooling point CS2. Since the refrigerant injected from the second cooling nozzle 16b is sprayed by the nozzle in a wide range of diffusion, the moisture can be cooled. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the positional relationship and the dimensional relationship between the beam spot BS, the first cooling, the point CS1, and the second cooling point CS2 formed along the dividing line p on the glass substrate A. The beam spot BS, the first cooling point CS1, and the second cooling point cs2 are each an elliptical shape or an ellipse having a long axis and the long axis direction is coaxial with the divided predetermined line P, respectively. When the width (short axis) of the pupil point Bs is Wb, the width of the first cooling point is Wcsl, and the width of the second cooling point is 8 Wes, the magnitude relationship of the widths is Wcsi < WdWm. Specifically, the width w(3) of the first cooling point CS1 is set to be about 1/4 to 3/4 of the width of the beam spot BS, and more preferably about μ. For example, if the width (short axis) of the beam spot BS is set to 2 bribes, the short axis of the first cooling point c S 1 is set to 1 mm for ejection. Further, the width Wcs2 of the second cooling point CS2 is set to be equal to or slightly wider than the width ^ of the beam spot Bs. For example, when the width of the beam and the point bs (the axis) is set to 2 mm, the short axis of the second cooling point (3) is set to 3 to be ejected with the left and right. Further, the cutter wheel 18 is attached to the mounting frame 15 via the vertical movement adjustment mechanism 17. The cutter wheel 18 is formed by forming an initial crack (trigger point) on the edge of the glass substrate A, and moving the pedestal 7 in the χ direction while temporarily lowering it. Further, the substrate processing apparatus is equipped with an alignment detected by the camera 20 for locating the glass slab A for positioning: the positioner 20' can be rotated by the position of the camera. The division of the predetermined line P is followed by the description of the operation of placing the glass substrate A on the rotary table == in the above substrate processing apparatus. 对准 The alignment mark imprinted on the glass substrate 8 is detected by the camera 20, and the detection result is established based on the detection result. The positional relationship between the turret and the slewing ring 12 and the sliding port is adjusted. Then, the position of the rotating table 12 and the sliding table 2 is adjusted so that the predetermined dividing line Ρ reaches the position opposite to the cutter wheel 18. In order to form the initial turtle m at the end of the glass substrate, the rotary table 12 is returned to the initial position (the right end in FIG. 1), and the rotary table 12 is in the direction of the lowering of the cutter wheel 18 (in FIG. The middle is moved from the right to the left, whereby the cutter wheel 18 is crimped to the side end of the glass substrate a, and the initial crack (TR) is opened. After the initial crack (TR) is formed, the rotary table 12 is again made. Return to the initial position 'and emit laser light from the laser device 13 The refrigerant is ejected from the first cooling nozzle 16a and the second cooling nozzle 16b. In this state, the rotary table 12 is moved in the _χ direction (from right to left in the figure!). The predetermined dividing line 'ρ of the glass substrate , is used to scan the beam spot BS, the first cooling point CS1, and the second cooling point CS2 in this order. μ The following state is explained, that is, the glass is produced by the above operation The substrate Α is divided into a predetermined line Ρ and the initial crack TR is used as a starting point to form a 17 200914385 W mark, which is formed on the glass substrate A. _, person " clothing exhibition due to the first cooling point CS 1 and the brother one cold part The state inside the cooling lane of the point CS2. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the basis of the beam point BS along the division predetermined P and the width direction of each point by the first cooling point CS1 and the second cooling point (3) Schematic diagram of temperature distribution change and stress change (in the short axis direction). Fig. 4 (a) # ^ ^) is not heated by the beam spot BS' and by the first cooling point, 筮_" A top view of the positional relationship of the area where the cooling is performed. As shown in the figure below, after the heating of the beam point bs, the section of the first cold portion CS 1 is cooled, and the section orthogonal to the dividing line P is DD, the profile is When the flute, person, and ^ 曲 are cooled by the first cold spot CS1, the father is on the section AF p of the dividing line P, and the 囱 丨 & 』 囱 EE section is cooled by the second cooling point CS2. The section intersecting the planned dividing line p is a Μ section. k. Figure 4 (b) is a temperature profile of the substrate surface on the D-D profile and a schematic representation of the temperature distribution and thermal stress inside the substrate. After heating by the beam spot BS, on the D-D' section near the front where the first cooling point (3) is cooled, since the thermal energy intensity of the beam spot Bs is distributed at the center, the temperature distribution is presented. There is a distribution of temperature spikes that protrude upward from the predetermined dividing line P. Further, in the case of D_D, the temperature distribution inside the substrate on the cross section and the thermal stress are radially radiated from the substrate surface side centering on the division planned line P, and as a result, a semicircular temperature distribution is formed, and the surface is formed on the substrate surface. Compressed stress is nearby. Fig. 4 (c) is a diagram showing the temperature distribution of the surface of the substrate and the inside of the substrate on the cross section of E-E, and the temperature distribution and thermal stress inside the substrate. In the E_E which has been cooled by the first cooling point CS1, the width of the surface of the substrate on the surface of the substrate is reduced to less than the width of the beam, the heating of the point BS, and therefore the temperature distribution changes. In order to form a trough (a very small temperature region) at the center of the peak of the warmth, it becomes a temperature distribution of the peaks. As a result, a large thermal stress (tensile stress) is locally generated above the adjacent planned line p and near the surface, so that cracks are formed on the surface. On the other hand, since the inside of the substrate is locally heated by the beam spot, the heat transferred from the surface of the substrate is not sufficiently transferred to the inside of the substrate, so that temperature rise is less likely to occur inside the substrate. The result is that only a large thermal stress generated near the surface of the substrate causes a crack to form near the surface of the substrate, but since the crack does not enter the inside of the substrate, the result is a shallow crack. Fig. 4(d) is a view showing the temperature distribution of the substrate surface and the inside of the substrate on the cross section of F-F, and the temperature distribution and thermal stress inside the substrate. In the F_Fi section cooled by the second cooling point CS2, since the width of the substrate cooled by the second cooling point CS2 is the same as the width of the beam spot heating, or wider than the width of the beam spot BS, I The temperature peak is cooled as a whole, so the temperature spike disappears and a large thermal stress (tensile stress) is formed on the entire surface. On the other hand, heat transferred from the surface remains in the inside of the substrate, and as a result, a large temperature difference is generated in a large extent in the inside of the substrate and the surface of the substrate. The temperature difference causes tensile stress on the surface of the substrate, and compressive stress is generated inside the substrate, whereby a force for cracking the previously formed shallow crack is generated due to the surrounding stress distribution, and the shallow crack is further exerted. . Fig. 5 is a view showing a state in which cracks are generated in a cross section along the direction of dividing the predetermined line P. 19 200914385 As described so far, "in the region L1 heated by the beam spot BS", although it is subjected to a compressive stress perpendicular to the direction of the paper surface in the vicinity of the surface, no crack is generated. In the region L2 cooled by the first cooling point CS1, a local tensile stress in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper is generated in the vicinity of the surface (refer to Fig. 4 (c)) to form a shallow crack S2. Further, in the region L3 cooled by the second cooling point CS2, the tensile stress in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of the substrate and the tensile stress in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of the substrate surface are made shallower in the vicinity of the surface. The crack S2 further acts as a force (see Fig. 4(d)), thereby forming a deep crack S3. In this way, the first stage is stable and does form a shallow crack, which serves as a trigger point to make the crack deep in the second stage, thereby stably stabilizing the beam spot BS or the like even at a speed higher than the current speed. Form deep cracks. Specifically, even in the case of a glass substrate in which cracks cannot be stably formed at a speed of 1 mm/sec or more in the past, cracks can be stably formed at a speed of 720 mm/sec or less. For example, when the X-ray C照射2 laser is used for scribing, it is conventionally possible to perform scribing processing only at a scanning speed of 240 W and 500 mm/sec or less, but by using the present invention, the scanning speed is accelerated even for the same substrate. Processing is also possible up to 550 mm/sec. As a result, cross cutting can be realized at high speed. Moreover, high-speed crack formation of up to 720 mm/sec has also been experimentally confirmed. Further, the use of the present invention allows cracks to be deeper than before. As a result, in the related art, the breaking device is used to break the substrate by pressing the breaking bar along the crack (dash line). According to the present invention, the substrate can be cut without breaking the substrate, and the non-breaking step can be realized. Overall cutting. The present invention can be applied to the formation of cracks on a brittle material substrate such as a glass substrate, and is further used for division.
