  • Publication number: 20220352001
    Abstract: A temporary adhesive material for wafer processing temporarily bonds a support to a wafer having a circuit-forming front and back surface for processing, including a composite temporary adhesive material layer having at least a two-layer structure of first and second temporary adhesive layers, the first layer including a thermoplastic resin layer that is releasably adhered to the wafer's front surface; and the second layer including a photo-curing siloxane polymer layer laminated on the first layer. A wafer processing laminate, a temporary adhesive material for wafer processing, and a method for manufacturing a thin wafer using the same, which suppress wafer warpage at the time of heat-bonding, have excellent delaminatability and cleaning removability, allow layer formation with uniform film thickness on a heavily stepped substrate, are highly compatible with steps of forming TSV, etc., have excellent thermal process resistance, and are capable of increasing productivity of thin wafers.

  • Publication number: 20220002580
    Abstract: Provided is a method for forming a coating film of a photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition, with which a uniform cured product of the composition can be obtained even in an interface, dark portion and deep portion of a base material without being subjected to a curing inhibition from the base material (resin base material in particular). The method for forming the coating film of the photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition includes a step of applying a light-irradiated photocurable fluoropolyether-based elastomer composition to a surface of a base material.
