Abstract
A working object grinding method capable of grinding a working object reliably is provided. A working object 1 is irradiated with a laser beam while locating a converging point therewithin, so as to form a reformed region 7 in the working object 1 along a reformed-region forming line set at a predetermined distance inside from an outer edge of the working object 1 along the outer edge, and a rear face 21 of the working object 1 is ground. As a result, the reformed region 7 or fissures C1 extending therefrom can inhibit fissures generated in an outer edge portion 25 upon grinding the working object 1 from advancing to the inside, whereby the working object 1 can be prevented from fracturing.
Claims4
A working object grinding method for grinding a planar working object to a predetermined thickness, the method comprising the steps of:
- irradiating the working object with a laser beam while locating a converging point within the working object, so as to form a reformed region in the working object along a reformed-region forming line set at a predetermined distance inside from an outer edge of the working object along the outer edge;
- and
- in a state where a main face of a one side of the working object is held by a holding means, grinding a main face of an other side of the working object after forming the reformed region, and leaving alone a fracture extending from the reformed region, without leaving alone the reformed region, to expose the fracture on at least the main face of the other side of the working object.
