Arrangement for forming one or more separated scores in a surface of a substrate

摘要

The present invention is directed to an arrangement for forming one or more separated scores in a surface of a substrate. The arrangement comprises a laser for providing a laser beam, optical guiding means for guiding said laser beam to said surface of said substrate, means for moving said substrate relative to said laser beam in at least one cutting direction for forming said scores, and primary splitting means for splitting said laser beam into a plurality of primary cutting beams for forming said scores parallel to each other. Said primary splitting means are arranged for moving said primary cutting beams relative to each other for adjusting the separation between said parallel scores. The invention is further related to a method for forming one or more separated scores in a surface of a substrate.
