A laser mark is inscribed on an IC component, which character stroke
consists of a plurality of laser paths inscribed by a laser beam. The
width of the character stroke is greater than the widths of the laser
paths. In addition, at least two of the laser paths, moving in opposite
directions or in a same direction of the laser beam, are integrally
connected as a laser-inscribing stroke to reduce end-to-end breaks
between the laser paths.
