Abstract

A workpiece-separating device includes: a holding member that detachably holds a workpiece among a layered body in which the workpiece that includes a circuit board and a supporting body that allows laser beams to pass therethrough are layered with each other via a separating layer that peelably alters with absorption of the laser beams; a laser irradiation part that performs irradiation of Gaussian beams pulse-oscillated as the laser beams toward the separating layer through the supporting body of the layered body held by the holding member; and a controlling part that controls an operation of the laser irradiation part, wherein the controlling part controls a distance between centers of the adjacent Gaussian beams of the laser beams pulse-oscillated from the laser irradiation part to be less than three times of a standard deviation when a relationship between a beam diameter and irradiation intensity is assumed as a normal distribution.
