Tape for processing wafer, method for manufacturing tape for processing

摘要

In a wafer processing tape, circular or tongue-shaped notched parts facing the center of an adhesive layer, as seen in a plan view, are formed so as to correspond to a pasting region to a wafer ring to a depth that reaches a release substrate from the side of a base material film. Due to the formation of the notched parts, when a peeling force acts on the wafer processing tape, portions of a tacky material layer and the base material film which are more outward than the notched parts are peeled off first, and a portion that is more inward than the notched parts remains on the wafer ring in a protruding state. Accordingly, a peeling strength between the wafer processing tape and the wafer ring can be increased and the wafer processing tape can be suppressed from being peeled off from the wafer ring during processes.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:
preparing a wafer processing tape having a pasting region to be pasted to a wafer ring used when processing a semiconductor wafer,
the wafer processing tape comprising:a release substrate that constitutes a base of the tape;an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the release substrate so as to correspond to a planar shape of the semiconductor wafer;a tacky material layer provided so as to cover the adhesive layer; anda base material film provided so as to cover the tacky material layer, whereinregions of the tacky material layer and the base material film which protrude outward from the adhesive layer serve as the pasting region to the wafer ring,a notched part defining a flap protruding toward the center of the adhesive layer, as seen in a plan view, is formed in the pasting region to a depth that reaches the release substrate from the base material film side, andthe notched part is spaced inwardly from an outer perimeter of the pasting region in the plan view,the flap acting to inhibit removal of the pasting region from the wafer ring when portions of the pasting region adjacent to the flap are peeled from the wafer ring; fixing a film laminate obtained by peeling off the release substrate from the wafer processing tape to one surface of the semiconductor wafer via the adhesive layer; fixing the wafer ring to the pasting region via the tacky material layer in the pasting region of the film laminate; and dicing the semiconductor wafer while supplying cooling water to a dicing blade.
