Abstract:
1. An orthogonal integrated cleaving apparatus for laser-thermal processing of a substrate, the apparatus comprising: a mounting head facing a processing surface supporting the substrate; at least one laser source; a first cleaving device and a second cleaving device mounted on the mounting head on respective perpendicular planes defined by the mounting head, the perpendicular planes being orthogonal to the processing surface and each cleaving device including: a first motor that operates to move one of the mounting head and the processing surface along the cutting axis of the first cleaving device so as to process the substrate using the first cleaving device; a second motor that operates to move one of the mounting head and the processing surface along the cutting axis of the second cleaving device so as to process the substrate using the second cleaving device; and a controller configured to:
