Abstract
A method of dicing a plurality of integrated devices included in a semiconductor substrate using laser energy comprises the steps of directing a first laser beam onto a cutting line along the substrate to ablate a portion of the substrate located along the cutting line to be diced, the portion of the substrate that is ablated forming a recast material adjacent to the cutting line of the substrate that has been diced. A second laser beam is directed onto another portion of the substrate adjacent to the cutting line to conduct heat processing of the recast material formed adjacent to the cutting line.
