1. A laser processing apparatus, comprising:
a laser oscillator configured to oscillate a laser pulse;
a first laser deflection unit configured to deflect the laser pulse emitted from the laser oscillator in a two-dimensional direction in accordance with frequency of a driving signal to be supplied, and to change energy of the laser pulse emitted from the laser oscillator in accordance with amplitude of the driving signal to be supplied;
a second laser deflection unit configured to deflect the laser pulse emitted from the first laser deflection unit in a two-dimensional direction on a same plane as that of the two-dimensional direction of the first laser deflection unit, an operational speed of the second laser deflection unit being slower than that of the first laser deflection unit;
a movable table, the movable table configured to support at least one substrate to be processed, wherein the at least one substrate to be processed comprises a laminate;
at least one control unit configured to control an operation of at least one selected from the group consisting of the laser oscillator, the first laser deflection unit, the second laser deflection unit, and the moveable table;
the three-layer laminate comprises a third layer, a second layer laminated onto the third layer, and a first layer, made up of a material different from that of the second layer, laminated onto the second layer, and
the laser processing apparatus is configured to use the laser pulse emitted from the first laser deflection unit to initiate, and repeat, a trepanning processing for irradiating the laser pulse emitted from the first laser deflection unit along a predetermined track at multiple punching positions on the first layer of the laminate, thereby creating at least a hole in the first layer of the laminate, and thereafter adjusting the laser pulse emitted from the first laser deflection unit to cause forming of a blind hole in the second layer of the laminate,
the control unit stores, in a memory, a control table determining a first amplitude of the driving signal corresponding to the first energy and a second amplitude of the driving signal corresponding to the second energy for a same frequency,
the control unit sets a first energy of the laser pulse emitted from the first laser deflection unit, at a time of application of the laser pulse to the first layer of the laminate to be punched when the trepanning processing is initiated and repeated multiple times; and the control unit thereafter sets a second energy of the laser pulse applied to the second layer of the laminate, in accordance with the control table;
wherein the second laser deflection control unit is used to position the laser pulse at a specific coordinate on the substrate, and
the first laser deflection control unit is used to position the laser pulse at a high speed in a peripheral region around the specific coordinate in the two-dimensional direction.
