Abstract:
A stripping method for stripping a support plate from a laminate including a substrate and the support plate adhered to the wafer via an adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer is formed from an adhesive compound soluble in a non-polar solvent or a highly polar solvent; and the stripping method includes the step of supplying the non-polar solvent or the highly polar solvent, so that the non-polar solvent or the highly polar solvent is retained at least on an edge portion of that surface of the laminate which faces the support plate, and on a lateral surface of the laminate.
Abstract:
A separating device according to the present invention separates a support plate (14) from a substrate (12) of a laminate (10) including the substrate (12) and the support plate (14) bonded to each other. The separating device includes: a first storing section (20) for storing the laminate (10); a plurality of first processing sections (30) for reducing adhesive force of an adhesive (13) applied between the substrate (12) and the support plate (14); and a first carrying section (50) which is capable of moving in the first direction and carries the laminate (10) from the first storing section (20) to the first processing section (30) while holding the laminate (10). With the first carrying section (50), it is possible to provide a separating device (100) which moves straightly so as to carry the laminate (10). This provides a separating device for (i) processing a laminate including a substrate and a support plate and (ii) separating the support plate from the substrate, which separating device performs the separating process efficiently.
Abstract:
A method for stripping a supporting plate from a circuit-formed surface of a substrate to which it is bonded with an adhesive by using a plate which has a first penetrating hole formed in a substantially central portion thereof in the thickness direction, a second penetrating hole formed in a peripheral portion thereof in the thickness direction, and a hole for attracting the supporting plate formed between the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole in the radial direction of the plate. The method involves supplying a solvent from outside to the first penetrating hole of the plate and to an associated first penetrating hole formed in a substantially central portion of the supporting plate; distributing the solvent from the first penetrating hole of the supporting plate through grooves formed on a surface of the supporting plate in contact with the adhesive and connecting with the first penetrating hole of the supporting plate; dissolving the adhesive with the solvent; and draining the solvent from a second penetrating hole connecting with the grooves and formed in a peripheral portion of the supporting plate and the second penetrating hole formed in the plate.

Abstract:
A separating apparatus includes a sucking plate for sticking to a support plate by suction. The sucking plate has sucking holes for expelling gas from a space between the sucking plate and the support plate. Each of the sucking holes has a diameter of not less than 0.3 mm and not more than an outer diameter of the support plate. This makes it possible to separate a supporting plate from a wafer without breaking the wafer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an adhesive composition whose component is a polymer obtained by copolymerizing a monomer composition containing styrene, a (meth)acrylic acid ester having a cyclic structure, and an alkyl(meth)acrylate having a chain structure. The monomer composition further contains a carboxylic acid having an ethylene double bond, a bifunctional monomer, and a styrene macromonomer. The polymer has a styrene block segment. This can improve heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, alkaline resistance, and easiness in stripping of an adhesive composition that has been subjected to a high temperature process. As a result, there can be obtained an adhesive composition which has high heat resistance, adhesive strength in a high temperature environment, and alkali resistance, and which can be easily stripped off after the adhesive composition is processed at a high temperature.
Abstract:
An attaching device which makes it possible to accurately perform alignment when the diameters of a substrate and a supporting plate are substantially the same includes a mounting plate for mounting a semiconductor wafer thereon, a pressing plate for pressing a supporting plate onto the semiconductor wafer, and a pair of alignment members. The pair of alignment members are arranged to freely move back and forth in a horizontal direction, and blades for supporting a lower surface of the periphery of the supporting plate and pushing members for performing positioning in a state where the supporting plate is superposed on the semiconductor wafer are provided at tip ends of the alignment members.
