Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for machining a workpiece, comprising the steps of introducing a plurality of adjacent modifications into the material of the workpiece by means of laser radiation, etching the material of the workpiece in a first etching operation with a first selectivity, in order to remove predominantly the material modified by the laser radiation, and, after completion of the first etching operation, etching the material of the workpiece in a second etching operation with a second selectivity, different from the first selectivity, in order to remove the webs left between the removed modified material.
