ABSTRACT:
In a method of cutting metal interconnections in a semiconductor device according to the present invention, a semiconductor wafer (5) which has metal interconnections having a high melting point is placed in an oxygen atmosphere (9) within a chamber (6), and laser beams (4) are irradiated through an optical system (2) and an optical beam positioner (3) on the high melting point metal interconnections while maintaining the interior of the chamber (6) at a vacuum of 1 to 10 mTorr, and introducing oxygen from an oxygen inlet port (7) under a pressure of 1 to 1.5 Torr. to sublimate and cut the high melting point metal interconnections.
