摘要:
A chuck table adhesively holds a rear face of a mount frame subject to a dicing process with a protective tape joined thereto, and a suction plate having a heater embedded therein contacts and heats the protective tape. Consequently, an adhesion layer of the protective tape reduces its adhesive force due to foaming and expansion. Thereafter, the suction plate moves upward while keeping its suction force to separate the protective tape from all of chips.

A reinforcing support substrate is joined to a surface of the semiconductor wafer via a double-faced adhesive tape, and then is removed from the semiconductor wafer. Subsequently, the semiconductor wafer with the support substrate removed therefrom is adhesively held on a rear face of a ring frame via a support adhesive tape, and the double-faced adhesive tape is separated from the surface of the semiconductor wafer integrate with the ring frame.
摘要:
A semiconductor wafer joined to a carrier via a double-faced adhesive tape having an adhesive layer of a heating separation property is heated for removal from the carrier. The double-faced adhesive tape is separated from the semiconductor wafer on a holding table. Thereafter, an air nozzle preliminarily cools the semiconductor wafer for a given time during transportation with a wafer transport section. Upon completion of the preliminary cooling, the semiconductor wafer is placed on a cooling stage to cool it to a target temperature.
摘要:
A wafer floats and is transported while gas is blown from holes passing vertically through a middle portion of a transport path against a rear face of the wafer to be transported, and from holes on opposite sides of the transport path that are inclined obliquely relative to a traveling direction of the wafer toward a center axis of the transport path against the rear face of the wafer. In the step of transporting the wafer, a flow rate of gas is adjusted that is blown from the holes on a side where the wafer deviates from a transport course.

A method of this invention involves capturing an image of an outer periphery of a semiconductor wafer, by use of a CCD camera, performing image analysis on data about the captured image, detecting defects such as chips and cracks on the outer periphery of the semiconductor wafer, storing positions of the respective defects, calculating a clearance between the adjacent defects from information about the stored positions, comparing the calculated clearances with a preset width of a separation tape, and obtaining the clearance larger than the width of the separation tape, by arithmetic processing. If some of the clearances are larger than the width of the separation tape, this method also involves setting an appropriate one of the clearance as a position where the separation tape is joined, performing alignment on the semiconductor wafer, joining the separation tape to a protective tape joined to a surface of the semiconductor wafer, and separating the protective tape together with the separation tape from the surface of the semiconductor wafer.

摘要:
An apparatus for joining a double-sided adhesive tape to a substrate includes: a chuck table for holding a substrate; a tape feed device for separating, from a double-sided adhesive tape having first and second separators, the first separator, and feeding the double-sided adhesive tape onto the chuck table; a joining roller for pressing the double-sided adhesive tape fed on the chuck table in the state that the first separator is separated, from a side of the second separator with rolling, and joining the double-sided adhesive tape to a surface of the substrate; a separator collecting device for separating the second separator wound and turned around by the joining roller from the double-sided adhesive tape in association with the forward movement for joining of the joining roller, and taking up the second separator in synchronization with the forward movement for joining of the joining roller; and a tape cutting mechanism including a cutter blade for cutting the double-sided adhesive tape joined to the substrate along with a contour of the substrate.
