  • Publication number: 20230402300
    Abstract: A method for removing a protective film from a semiconductor component includes providing the semiconductor component having the protective film on a component upper side. The protective film protrudes beyond the component upper side at a longitudinal side. The method also includes separating the protective film from the component upper side with a removal tool which has a removal opening. The separating of the protective film from the component upper side includes guiding the removal tool next to the semiconductor component along the longitudinal side in a direction transverse to the component upper side while it bears on the protective film so that the protective film is bent by the removal tool in a direction toward a side face of the semiconductor component, and retracting the removal tool so that the protective film catches in the removal opening and the protective film is detached from the component upper side.
