Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016083610A2] The invention relates to a method for creating a detachment zone (2) in a solid (1) in order to detach a solid portion (12), especially a solid layer (12), from the solid (1), said solid portion (12) that is to be detached being thinner than the solid from which the solid portion (12) has been removed. According to the invention, the method comprises at least the steps of: providing a solid (1) which is to be processed and which is preferably made of a chemical compound; providing a LASER light source; subjecting the solid (1) to LASER radiation from the LASER light source so that the laser beams penetrate into the solid (1) via a surface (5) of the solid portion (12) that is to be cut off; the LASER radiation is applied in a defined manner to a predefined portion of the solid (1) inside the solid (1) such that a detachment zone (2) or a plurality of partial detachment zones (25, 27, 28, 29) is formed; the method is characterized in that a number of modifications (9) is successively created in the crystal lattice by the applied laser radiation, and the crystal lattice fissures at least partially in the regions surrounding the modifications (9) as a result of the modifications (9), said fissures in the region of the modifications (9) predefining the detachment zone (2) or a plurality of partial detachment zones (25, 27, 28, 29).
