  • Publication number: 20120056338
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for protecting a semiconductor wafer, which does not cause curve (warpage) in the semiconductor wafer, when the semiconductor wafer is ground, is excellent in followability to a pattern, has adequate stress dispersibility in a grinding operation, suppresses the crack in a wafer and chipping in a wafer edge, and does not leave a residue of a tackiness agent on the surface of the wafer. The protective sheet has one face having tackiness, does not have an interface existing between a substrate and the tackiness agent and is made of one layer, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has different tack strengths on both faces from each other.

  • Publication number: 20110021705
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composite film containing an acrylic polymer and a urethane polymer. The acrylic polymer contains an acrylic component including an acrylic acid monomer and a monofunctional (meth)acrylic monomer whose homopolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of not less than 0° C. The acrylic acid monomer content in the acrylic component is not less than 1% by weight but not more than 30% by weight. The urethane polymer contains a urethane component obtained by reacting a diol and a diisocyanate. The diol and diisocyanate are used at an equivalent ratio NCO/OH of 1.1-2.0. The composite film has a content soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
