Abstract:
A wafer processing method, by which a device wafer may be aligned and bonded to a carrier wafer to perform a back grinding process for the device wafer and may be separated from the carrier wafer after performing the back grinding process, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by using the wafer processing method are provided. The wafer processing method includes: disposing a first magnetic material on a front side of a wafer and disposing a second magnetic material on a carrier wafer, wherein a surface of the first magnetic material and a surface of the second magnetic material, which face each other, have opposite polarities; aligning and bonding the wafer to the carrier wafer by magnetic attraction between the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material; grinding a back side of the wafer to make the wafer thin; and separating the wafer from the carrier wafer.
