(EN) An improved method for singulation of electronic substrates 60 into dice uses a laser 70 to first form cuts 62 in the substrate 60 and then chamfers 66, 67 the edges 63 of the cuts 62 by altering the laser parameters. The chamfers 66, 67 increase die break strength by reducing the residual damage and removes debris caused by the initial laser cut 62 without requiring additional process steps, additional equipment or consumable supplies.
