Abstract

Systems and methods for material singulation. According to some embodiments, methods for material singulation may include applying a first laser output to the material, the first laser output causing a modification of a material property of the material when exposed to the first laser output; and applying a second laser output to the material that was exposed to the first laser output to cause singulation of the material in such a way that surfaces created by the singulation of the material are substantially free from defects.
