Abstract: A wafer processing method for divides a wafer into individual device chips along a plurality of division lines. The method includes forming a dividing groove along each division line formed on the front side of the wafer, the dividing groove having a depth corresponding to the finished thickness of each device chip, thinning the wafer to expose the dividing groove to the back side of the wafer, thereby dividing the wafer into the individual device chips, applying a liquid resin for die bonding to the back side of the wafer and next solidifying the liquid resin applied to the back side of the wafer, thereby forming a die bonding resin film having a predetermined thickness on the back side of each device chip, and isolating each device chip from the wafer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a packaged wafer including a step of forming grooves in a face side of a wafer along projected dicing lines to a depth larger than a finished thickness of the wafer, a step of forming a ring-shaped groove in and along a boundary between a device area and an outer peripheral excess area of the wafer to a depth larger than the depth of the grooves, and a step of placing a recess mold of a molding apparatus in engagement with the wafer so that a side wall of the recess mold is placed on a bottom of the ring-shaped groove and filling a space between the recess mold and the wafer with a molding resin.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a packaged wafer manufacturing method including the steps of forming a groove along each division line on the front side of a wafer, each groove having a depth greater than the finished thickness of the wafer, next removing a chamfered portion from the outer circumference of the wafer to thereby form a step portion having a depth greater than the depth of each groove, next setting a die of a molding apparatus on the bottom surface of the step portion of the wafer in the condition where a space is defined between the die and the wafer, and next filling a mold resin into this space. Accordingly, the device area of the wafer is covered with the mold resin and each groove of the wafer is filled with the mold resin to thereby obtain a packaged wafer.
