Abstract

A laser-working method is disclosed, which includes the steps of splitting a single pulse laser beam having a time width of not more than 500 picoseconds into plural pulse laser beams; subjecting said plural pulse laser beams to time delaying, and adjusting a working surface-irradiating shape, an intensity distribution and a working surface-irradiating position of each of the plural pulse laser beams; working a target object to be irradiated, while the respective working surface-irradiating shapes of said plural laser beams are partially or entirely spatially overlapped with each other or one another; and setting to a time interval of from a pulse width to 1 nanosecond a time period during which each of the pulse laser beams is irradiated.
