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 4):
The method according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the cross-sectional shape of the cutting edge of the cutting blade is a round shape; and in the cutting step, the workpiece is cut while the center of the cutting blade in thicknesswise directions thereof positionally deviates from the cracks in the direction perpendicular to the direction along which the streets extend.
