Abstract
A method for separating a solid body includes: providing a first solid body having opposite first and second surfaces and a crystal lattice, and that is at least partially transparent to a laser beam emitted by a laser; modifying a portion of the crystal lattice by the laser beam, the laser beam penetrating through the first surface, the modified portion of the crystal lattice extending in a plane parallel to the first surface, as a result of the modification, subcritical cracks are formed arranged in a plane parallel to the first surface, a plurality of the subcritical cracks forming a detachment region in the first solid body, the plurality of the subcritical cracks passing at least in some sections through the modified portion of the crystal lattice; and separating the first solid body along the detachment region to form a wafer and a second solid body.
