Abstract
The present invention discloses a new tool to slice crystal ingots by using laser beams. Ingot crystals of III-nitride such as GaN are immersed in alkali solutions and irradiated with scanned lines of laser beams to slice wafers out of the ingots. The method is expected to achieve approximately one order of magnitude smaller slicing loss with minimized slicing damage.
