Abstract:
1. A scribing apparatus comprising: a scribing line forming means being structured so as to form a scribing line on a substrate by contacting the substrate, and the scribing line forming means is configured to move on a surface of the substrate to form the scribing line on the surface of the substrate along a movement path line of the scribing line forming means; a supporting means for supporting the scribing line forming means such that the scribing line forming means is turnable about a first turning axis, the supporting means being structured so as to be turnable about a second turning axis, the second turning axis being different from the first turning axis, wherein a scribing head comprising a scribing line forming mechanism, wherein the scribing line forming mechanism comprises the scribing line forming means and the supporting means, and wherein the scribing head further comprises a pressure application means for applying a pressure force to the scribing apparatus in order to press the scribing line forming means onto the substrate; and a moving means for moving the scribing head on a surface, the surface being approximately parallel to the substrate, such that the scribing line forming means forms the scribing line on the substrate, wherein the scribing line is formed in a same direction as a moving direction of the scribing head.
