1. A method for splitting a workpiece on a wafer comprising:
- irradiating a laser beam to the workpiece to form a recessed portion at a surface of the workpiece and condensing the laser beam at predetermined depth at a position away from the recessed portion in the workpiece to form an internal processing region including a condensing point having a depth;
splitting the workpiece by applying an external force to the workpiece to generate a crack along a first cutting line and second cutting line connecting the recessed portion with the internal processing region; and
applying etching to the wafer to form a supply port positioned beneath a nozzle layer, the nozzle layer being disposed between the first cutting line and the second cutting line.

Abstract
At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a laser cutting method where a laser beam is condensed at internal points inside a substrate forming processing regions, and where the laser is swept along a cutting line, where the cutting line is associated with a recess on the substrate and where the recess can be formed contemporaneously with the formation of the processing regions.
