Scribing apparatus and method for having analysis function of material distribution

Abstract

A scribing apparatus having a function to analyze distribution of a material forming a semiconductor or solar cell in real-time in a process producing the semiconductor or solar cell of is disclosed. The scribing apparatus having the analysis function of material distribution comprises: a laser irradiation unit, which conducts scribing by irradiating laser to a position to be scribed of an analysis subject; a spectrum detection optical unit, which detects a spectrum generated from plasma, which is produced by the irradiated laser; a spectrum information storage, which stores spectrum state information of each material forming the analysis subject; and a spectrum analysis unit, which analyzes distribution state information of the material by comparing the spectrum state information and the detected spectrum.
