Abstract

A substrate processing method is provided including: shaping a laser beam emitted from a laser beam source into a beam having a focal depth larger than the maximum value of a variation in thickness of a processing area portion of a processed substrate and the maximum value of a variation in bend thereof by making the laser beam pass through an diffractive optical element; forming plural etching holes by irradiating the shaped beam onto a film formed on the substrate to remove the film; and forming plural recessed portions by etching the substrate through the plural etching holes.
