The wafer is divided by applying an external force to the optical device wafer to thereby break the optical device wafer along each street where the modified layer is formed, so that the optical device wafer is divided into the individual optical devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2012Publication date: May 16, 2013Applicant: DISCO CORPORATIONInventor: Disco Corporation
