Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of processing a substrate. The substrate has on a first surface a device area with a plurality of devices partitioned by a plurality of division lines. A pulsed laser beam is applied to the substrate at least in a plurality of positions along each of the division lines, with a focal point located at a distance from the first surface in the direction from the first surface towards a second, opposite surface, so as to form a plurality of modified regions in the substrate along each of the division lines. The second surface of the substrate is then ground to adjust the substrate thickness. After forming modified regions and/or hole regions in the substrate, a plasma can be applied to the substrate so as to form a plurality of grooves extending along the division lines.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the plasma is applied at least to the ground second surface so that the substrate is divided along the division lines.
