  • Publication number: 20120208012
    Abstract: A semiconductor processing sheet contains a base layer having a plastic sheet containing pigment as a core layer, wherein a non-pigment-containing layer is arranged in the outermost layer on front and back main surfaces of the core layer. According to the present invention, in a process for manufacturing semiconductor devices, it is possible to minimize contamination of the inner surface for the film manufacturing die that is due to the pigment contained in the film while maintaining the visibility of the semiconductor processing sheet. Consequently, partial occlusion of the die lip aperture due to pigment contamination is reduced, with the result that effective prevention of the deterioration of the sheet thickness precision due to adhering pigment is possible.

  • Publication number: 20110275179
    Abstract: Provided is an improved method of joining a protective tape having one object to suppress generation of bending of a semiconductor wafer after a back-grinding process. The protective tape is supplied toward the semiconductor wafer suction-held on a chuck table, and an intermediate sheet is supplied along an upper side of the protective tape. Then, the intermediate sheet is interposed between a joining member and the protective tape along a surface of a base material in the protective tape so as to be movable. Under this state, the joining member and the semiconductor wafer move relative to each other in a horizontal direction, whereby the protective tape is joined to a surface of the semiconductor wafer.

  • Patent number: 7556762
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of inflation extrusion molding, comprising: introducing one or more resin materials extruded from one or more extruders into a die; subsequently extruding the resin material(s) from the die and inflating the extrudate into a cylindrical shape having a predetermined diameter by blown-film extrusion; and then passing the cylindrical inflated resin material through a space between stabilizers which face each other at a predetermined angle, to deform the cylindrical resin material into a flat tube shape having an elongated elliptic section, thereby producing a film or sheet having a predetermined width, wherein the deformation of the cylindrical inflated resin material into a flat tube shape having an elongated elliptic section is assisted by a guide device to thereby facilitate the deformation.
