Abstract
Lasers have been used to machine semiconductors for many years (Fig. 1). The first practical application was scribing silicon wafers with a Q-switched YAG laser. Many others followed, with the use often determined by the features of the available lasers. This process has been modified slightly in recent years, with lasers being tailored to fill a perceived need.
