Method and device for laser stripping of silicon carbide ingot

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for laser stripping a silicon carbide ingot. The method first transmits an ultrashort pulse laser beam through the first end face of the silicon carbide ingot and focuses it on a set depth layer of the ingot. A cavity-modified region and a crack-modified region are generated above the set depth layer, respectively, and scanned to form the cavity-modified layer and the crack-modified layer. A short pulse laser beam then transmits the second end face of the silicon carbide ingot and focuses it on the cavity-modified region. The beam scatters and propagates within the cavity-modified region, causing the heat from the short pulse laser beam to act on the cavity-modified region, causing cracks within the crack-modified region to grow laterally outward. Scanning is then performed to connect cracks within adjacent cavity-modified regions within the cavity-modified layer through lateral growth. This reduces the amount and length of cracks in the modified layer extending longitudinally along the silicon carbide ingot, increases the number and length of lateral crack growth, reduces cutting loss, and reduces waste.
