Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of processing a workpiece having a plurality of streets provided on a face side thereof, the method including: a laser beam applying step of applying a laser beam having a wavelength that is transmittable through the workpiece along the streets while focusing the laser beam at a point within the workpiece, thereby forming modified layers in the workpiece along the streets and cracks extending from the modified layers to the face side; and a cutting step of, thereafter, cutting the workpiece from a reverse side thereof along the streets while supplying the workpiece with a cutting fluid, thereby removing the modified layers from the workpiece.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the cross-sectional shape of the cutting edge of the cutting blade is a centrally recessed shape where the center of the cutting edge is recessed between projecting end ridges or a one-sided unsymmetrical slanted shape where an essentially flat surface is oblique from one side to another; and in the cutting step, the workpiece is cut while the center of the cutting blade in thicknesswise directions thereof is positionally aligned with the cracks.
