Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005115678A1] The invention relates to a method for cutting through semiconductor materials during which a laser beam (10) is oriented toward a cutting zone (18) of the semiconductor material (4). The wavelength of the laser radiation is selected so that the laser beam is partially transmitted under partial absorption from the semiconductor material. According to the invention, the wavelength of the laser radiation ranges from approximately 1100 to approximately 1150 nm, particularly from 1115 to 1125 nm. The wavelength of the laser radiation is selected so that the transmittance of the semiconductor material (4) ranges from approximately 30 % to approximately 60 %, particularly from 45 % to 55 %. The inventive method makes it possible to rapidly and precisely cut through semiconductor materials, particularly wafers.
