A method of laser processing a liquid crystal device wafer which is formed
by laminating together a silicon substrate and a glass substrate, and has
liquid crystal devices in respective rectangular areas sectioned by
streets arranged in a lattice pattern on the front surface, the method
comprising: a first deteriorated layer forming step for forming a
deteriorated layer along the streets in the inside of the silicon
substrate by applying a laser beam of a wavelength capable of passing
through the silicone substrate and forming a deteriorated layer in the
inside of the silicon substrate from the glass substrate side with its
focal point set to the inside of the silicon substrate; and a second
deteriorated layer forming step for forming a deteriorated layer along
the streets in the inside of the glass substrate by applying a laser beam
of a wavelength capable of passing through the glass substrate and
forming a deteriorated layer in the inside of the glass substrate with
its focal point set to the inside of the glass substrate.
