A debonding tool provides current to conductive contacts on the conductive layer for generating heat in the heat-generating layer when it is desired to debond the structures that are attached together using the adhesive member.

  • Publication number: 20140272401
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive film for protecting a wafer including an adhesive layer formed on one surface of a substrate film. The present invention relates to an adhesive film for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer, wherein the surface film has a tensile strength of 2-10 kg/mm2 and an elongation until breakage of 50-200%, and the gel content of the adhesive layer is greater than or equal to 80%. The adhesive film for protecting the wafer maintains cutting ability and machinability, while preventing the generation of bending and wafer breaking phenomena due to the decrease of the wafer thickness. In addition, the adhesive film may not melt at high temperatures, and the yield while grinding the wafer may be increased.

  • Publication number: 20140272321
    Abstract: A masking material and method of forming a masking tape that includes a substrate and an adhesive layer disposed on the substrate. The adhesive layer is preferably thicker than the substrate and formed of a material that has a modulus of elasticity combined with a viscoelastic component that allows the adhesive to conform to discontinuities associated with a surface to which the masking material is applied. Preferably, the adhesive is formed in two rows that are aligned with the lateral edges of the substrate and which prevent seepage of liquid materials between the masking material and the surface to which it is applied.

  • Patent number: 8828538
    Abstract: Doped adhesive tape is used during the manufacture of aircraft, including positioning marks, covering orifices from debris, allowing locations to be marked. Any doped adhesive tape inadvertently left in sub-assemblies during the manufacturing process can be detected using backscatter X-ray inspection technology. Detection is facilitated in one embodiment by making the tape thicker, to produce an increased mass density, and in another embodiment by adding a dopant comprising an element that is readily detected by the backscatter X-ray technology. The element can be iodine, and can be incorporated into the backing layer or the adhesive layer of the tape during manufacturing. The use of both thicker tape and a dopant can be used in combination to facilitate detection. If the doped adhesive tape is detected after components are assembled using a backscatter X-ray inspection device, then the doped adhesive tape is removed.
