Abstract

A component having a laser track as a fracture initiation line, said laser track being composed of laser holes formed by a laser beam for preparing for a later separation of the component into individual components. In order to ensure that, upon separation, the fracture always extends along the laser track, fractures deviating from the laser track are avoided, and the fracture edges after fracture are formed evenly and do not have jagged edges, it is proposed that the distance between two adjacent laser holes be less than or equal to the diameter of said laser holes, in each case measured on the surface of the component.

Claims (14)

1. A component comprising a laser track as a fracture initiation line, said laser track consisting of laser holes formed by a laser beam for preparing for a later separation of the component into individual components, wherein the distance A between two adjacent laser holes is smaller or equal to the diameter D of said laser holes, in each case measured on the surface of the component; wherein the components are ceramic plates which are used as substrates for electronic or electric components, and wherein the laser track is created in opposing side faces of the component.

2. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the depth H of the laser holes is equal.

3. A method for producing a component according to claim 2 , wherein during the irradiation time of the component, at least one of the laser beam and the component are moved so as to create the laser track in the component.

4. The component according to claim 2 , wherein the component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a semiconductor material, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and a mixed ceramic.

5. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the depth H of the laser holes is unequal.

6. A method for producing a component according to claim 5 , wherein during the irradiation time of the component, at least one of the laser beam and the component are moved so as to create the laser track in the component.

7. The component according to claim 5 , wherein the component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a semiconductor material, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and a mixed ceramic.

8. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the components have congruent laser tracks on opposing side faces.

9. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a semiconductor material, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and a mixed ceramic.

10. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a semiconductor material, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and a mixed ceramic.

11. A method for producing a component according to claim 1 , wherein during the irradiation time of the component, at least one of the laser beam and the component are moved so as to create the laser track in the component.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a laser hole is put in at least a second time at the same place.

13. A method for producing a component according to claim 1 , wherein during the irradiation time of the component, at least one of the laser beam and the component are moved so as to create the laser track in the component.

14. The component according to claim 1 , wherein the component comprises a material selected from the group consisting of a semiconductor material, aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and a mixed ceramic.
