Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of fabricating leached polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDCs') in which a polycrystalline diamond table thereof is leached and resized to provide a leached region having a selected geometry. Creating a leached region having such a selected geometry may improve the performance of the PDC in various conditions, such as impact strength and/or thermal stability.
