A role of umklapp scattering has been examined for two-coupled chains with both forward and backward scattering by applying the renormalization group method to the bosonized Hamiltonian. It has been found that a state with relevant interchain hopping changes into a state with irrelevant (confined) one when the magnitude of umklapp scattering becomes larger than that of interchain hopping. The critical value of umklapp scattering for such a confinement-deconfinement transition is calculated as the function of interchain hopping and intrachain interactions. A crossover from one-dimensional regime into that of coupled chains is also shown with decreasing temperature.
