A cassette conveyance apparatus (10) includes: a first conveyance means (20) for conveying a first cassette (40) in a horizontal and vertical direction; and a second conveyance means (30) for conveying a second cassette (50) in a horizontal and vertical direction . In the cassette conveyance apparatus (10), the first and second cassettes are circulated between a predetermined wafer accommodation position (P1), at which a wafer (2) is accommodated in the cassette, and a predetermined cassette replacement position (P0) at which a cassette accommodating a plurality of wafers is replaced with an empty cassette. Due to the foregoing, the wafers are continuously accommodated in the cassette without stopping an operation of a pretreatment step.

There are provided a wafer processing method comprising the steps of grinding an underside (21) of a wafer which is provided, on its front surface (29), with a plurality of semiconductor devices (10); polishing a ground surface (22) formed by the grinding operation; and carrying out a plasma-processing for a polished surface (23) formed by the polishing operation under a predetermined gaseous atmosphere in a plasma chamber, to form an oxide layer on the polished surface, and a wafer processing method comprising the steps of carrying out a first plasma-processing for a polished surface formed by the polishing operation under a first gaseous atmosphere (CF 4 or SF 6 ) in a plasma chamber, to clean the polished surface; and carrying out a second plasma-processing for the polished surface after the cleaning operation under a second gaseous atmosphere (O 2 ) in the plasma chamber, to form an oxide layer on the polished surface, and a wafer processing apparatus for carrying out these methods. Thus, the wafer can be processed while the occurrence of an electrical failure in a thin wafer is restricted.

A tape adhering device (10) comprises: a drawing roller (42) for drawing out a tape (3) ; a tape fixing means (47) for fixing one portion of the tape drawn out from the drawing roller; a tape drawing means (62) for drawing out a predetermined amount of tape, which is fixed by the tape fixing means, from the drawing roller between the tape fixing means and the drawing roller; and a tape adhering means (49, 31, 37) for adhering the tape, which is located in the downstream of the tape fixing means, onto an object to be adhered (20, 36) under the condition that fixing operation of the tape by the tape fixing means is released. It is preferable that the length of the tape drawn out by the tape drawing means is not less than the diameter of the object to be adhered. Due to the foregoing, it is possible to prevent wrinkles from being form on the tape at the time of adhering the tape.

摘要:
A method of calculating a quantity of light by measuring, by using an adhering force measuring unit (71), the adhering force of an ultraviolet light-curable tape (11 or 21) relying upon the quantity of ultraviolet light with which the ultraviolet light-curable tape is irradiated from an ultraviolet light irradiation unit (61), and calculating, by using a calculation unit, the quantity of ultraviolet light corresponding to a predetermined adhering force, from the measured adhering force of the ultraviolet light-curable tape, and a device therefor. The predetermined adhering force may have been stored in advance in the storage unit or the predetermined adhering force may be determined in advance relying upon at least either one of the kind of the ultraviolet light-curable tape or the elapsed time of the ultraviolet light-curable tape. Then, the quantity of light necessary for the ultraviolet light-curable tape that is used is automatically calculated to avoid a problem caused by an insufficient quantity of light or an excess quantity of light.
摘要:
A film peeling device for peeling a film (11) adhered to a front surface of a wafer (20), on the back surface of which a dicing tape (3) is adhered, the wafer is integrated with a mount frame (36) into one body, comprises: a movable table (31), which can be moved horizontally to support the wafer and the mount frame while the surface protection film is being directed upward; a covering means (80) for covering an adhesive face (3a) of the dicing tape, which is exposed between the mount frame and the wafer at one end (28) of the wafer; and a adhering means (46) for adhering a peeling tape (4) to the film at the end of the wafer. The film is peeled from the front surface of the wafer by moving the movable table from the other end (29) of the wafer to one end after the peeling tape has adhered. Due to the foregoing, while the peeling tape is being prevented from adhering to the dicing tape, the film can be peeled from the front surface of the wafer in a shorter period of time.

摘要:
Wafers (26) are prevented from getting damaged on delivery thereof from a sucking and carrying device to a table (48, 52, 54). A wafer (26) before planarization sucked and held by a sucking board (68, 80) is positioned above a table (48, 52, 54). Next, wafer (26) is vacuum-attracted by the table (48, 52, 54), and the table (48, 52, 54) is moved upward by that attraction power in a direction to suck the wafer (26) so as to vacuum-suck it on the table (48, 52, 54). Subsequently, the wafer (26) is sucked and held only by the table (48, 52, 54) by releasing the sucking and holding thereof by the sucking board (68, 80).
