Abstract
A substrate having a first surface with at least one division line and an opposite second surface is processed by attaching a protective sheeting to the first surface and applying a laser beam to the protective sheeting to form a plurality of alignment marks in the protective sheeting. The substrate has a backside layer on the second surface. A laser beam is applied to the substrate from the side of the first surface. The substrate is transparent to the laser beam and the focal point of the laser beam is located inside the substrate which is closer to the second surface than to the first surface, to form a plurality of alignment marks in the backside layer. Substrate material is removed along the division line from the side of the second surface. The alignment marks are used for aligning the substrate material removing means relative to the division line.
