  • Patent number: 8440545
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes spraying fluid onto a surface of a treatment target substrate including a semiconductor substrate; forming a protection layer on the surface of the treatment target substrate after spraying the fluid; selectively removing the protection layer and a part of the treatment target substrate by an energy beam; and conducting removal processing on an area of the treatment target substrate from which the protection layer and the part of the treatment target substrate are selectively removed.

  • Patent number: 8016973
    Abstract: A film bonding method of bonding a die bond film without causing any breakage. The die bond film is pressed against a wafer having a surface protective tape bonded thereto using a film-setting roller and a film-bonding roller, and a laser beam having a predetermined shape is irradiated to an area between the rollers. While rotationally moving the film-setting roller and the film-bonding roller, the laser beam is scanned on the wafer in accordance with their motion, and a portion of the die bond film, melted by the laser beam, is pressed against the wafer by the film-bonding roller following the film-setting roller to bond the die bond film to the wafer. Since the die bond film is bonded to the wafer by melting the same by the laser beam, even if the wafer is thin and reduced in its strength, it is possible to avoid the wafer from being damaged e.g. by thermal contraction of the surface protective tape.

  • Patent number: 7571538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Jig and method of manufacturing a semiconductor substrate including the back grind step, the dicing step, the pick up step, and the die bonding step of the wafer; and to a semiconductor substrate jig used in such method. The object of the present invention is to mitigate the effect and to prevent damage caused by the lack of strength in thinned semiconductor substrates. A jig with an outer frame 21, and a rubber film 22 arranged within the outer frame 21 and having increasing and decreasing body size while deforming its shape by supplying air therein are provided. As the volume of the rubber film 22 increases, the wafer-fixing jig 20 deforms the rubber film and allows the tapes 2 and 6 arranged between the wafer 1 and the rubber film 22A to be pushed toward the wafer 1 gradually from the center outward. The attachment step, the back grind step, the tape reapplication step, the pick up step and the die bonding step are conducted using such wafer-fixing jig.

  • Patent number: 7563343
    Abstract: In a film lamination apparatus and method, there is no one-side contact of a pressing roller that presses a film to be laminated. The film is laminated using a rotatable pressing roller having a heater incorporated therein. The pressing roller is pressed onto the film placed on a semiconductor substrate while generating heat by the heater inside the pressing roller. The pressing roller is rolled on the film so as to laminate the film on the semiconductor substrate by partially heating the film by the pressing roller while moving the pressing roller.
