  • Publication number: 20160141197
    Abstract: Provided is a method of peeling an electronic member from a laminate composed of the electronic member adhered to a supporting substrate via an adhesive film having a self-peeling adhesive layer in a defined location and having an exposed region A. The method includes the steps of: reducing adhesive strength between the supporting substrate and the self-peeling adhesive layer in the region A by applying energy on the region A; removing the supporting substrate from the laminate by further applying energy on the region and thus further reducing the adhesive strength reduced in the prior step between the supporting substrate and the self-peeling adhesive layer from a starting point of the interface between the supporting substrate and the self-peeling adhesive layer; and peeling the electronic member from the laminate by removing the adhesive film from the electronic member.

  • Publication number: 20070167003
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive film capable of preventing damage to a non-metal-film-formed surface when forming a metal film on a semiconductor wafer and further capable of reducing contamination on the wafer surface. The adhesive film comprises a base film laminated with at least one film layer having a gas transmission rate of not more than 5.0 cc/m2·day·atm with an adhesive layer formed on one surface thereof. By protecting the non-metal-film-formed surface, a washing step using a solvent can be omitted and contamination on the non-metal-film-formed surface can also be reduced, thus resulting in enhancement of productivity and workability.
