  • Patent number: 9267059
    Abstract: After an adhesive sheet is pasted on a semiconductor wafer, an adhesive of the sheet increases tight attachment to the semiconductor wafer because wetting spreads over time. Due to this, at the time of peeling the adhesive sheet from the ground semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer used to be damaged. This phenomenon is likely to occur for a thinner semiconductor wafer. The present invention resides in an adhesive sheet including a substrate and an adhesive layer disposed on the substrate. The substrate is formed of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of 10% by mass or less. The adhesive layer contains 100 parts by mass of a (meth)acrylate ester copolymer, 1 to 10 parts by mass of a cross-linker, 0.05 to 5 parts by mass of a silicone compound. The (meth)acrylate ester copolymer is formed of a copolymer produced by polymerizing a (meth)acrylate ester monomer and a functional-group-containing monomer.
