【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体基板に貼付ける表面保護用の粘着テープの剥離方法及び剥離テープに関し、特に、裏面を研磨して薄くなった半導体基板を破損することなく粘着テープを半導体基板から剥離することができる剥離方法及び剥離テープに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
例えば、GaAs基板などの化合物半導体基板の場合、半導体基板表面に素子を形成した後、熱抵抗を低減するため、半導体基板の表面に表面保護用の粘着テープを貼付けて裏面を研磨し、その厚さを極めて薄く(約30〜100μm)加工する。このため、研磨後、不要となったこの粘着テープを、半導体基板を破損することなく剥離する必要があった。
【0003】
従来の半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープの剥離方法及び剥離テープの一例を図6〜図8に示す。
【0004】
先ず、図6(a)に示すように、粘着テープ1は、伸縮性を有する基材2の一方の主面全面に粘着剤層3が設けられており、この粘着テープ1を半導体基板4の素子形成済みの表面4aに貼付けて素子(図示せず)を保護する。
【0005】
次に、図6(b)に示すように、粘着テープ1を貼付けた半導体基板4の裏面4bを裏面研磨装置(図示せず)で、所望の厚さになるまで薄く研磨する。
【0006】
次に、研磨後の半導体基板4から不要となった粘着テープ1を剥離する。
【0007】
第1の剥離方法は、先ず、図7(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の裏面4bを平坦な吸着ステージ5上に載置し、末端を真空ポンプ6に接続した複数の吸着孔7を通してしっかりと真空吸着し、剥離の際に、半導体基板4に不所望な変形が起きにくいように保持する。
【0008】
次に、図7(b)に示すように、熱収縮性を有する粘着テープ1全面を加熱して熱変形させ、粘着テープ1が半導体基板4から浮上ることを利用して剥離する。しかしながら、このとき、粘着テープ1全面を一斉に均一に加熱するため、粘着テープ1全体が半導体基板4の外周から中心に向って比較的急激に縮もうとする。このため、半導体基板4に半導体基板4の外周部を斜め上方に反らせる半径方向の反り応力が加わる。また、これに加えて、吸着ステージ5の平坦度の劣化や吸着孔7の詰まりなどがあったりすると、特に、半導体基板4の外周部での吸着力が低下し、半導体基板4を吸着ステージ5にしっかりと保持し切れず、半導体基板4の端が吸着ステージ5から僅かに浮上り、その結果、反り応力に負けて基板割れが生じることがあった。
【0009】
尚、ここで、粘着テープ1を加熱する方法は、特に限定するものではなく、半導体基板4の上方に配置した熱源(図示せず)からの輻射熱、あるいは、温風吹付けなどによる加熱方法でもよく、また、吸着ステージ5にヒータなどの熱源(図示せず)を内蔵させ熱伝導で加熱する方法でもよい。
【0010】
第2の剥離方法は、先ず、図8(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の裏面4bを平坦な吸着ステージ5上に載置し、末端を真空ポンプ6に接続した複数の吸着孔7を通してしっかりと真空吸着し、剥離の際に、半導体基板4に不所望な変形が起きにくいように保持する。尚、第2の剥離方法においては、粘着テープ1の基材2は、熱収縮性でなくてもよい。
【0011】
次に、粘着テープ1に剥離テープ8を貼付ける。剥離テープ8は、第2基材9の一方の主面全面に粘着テープ1の粘着剤層3の粘着力よりも強い粘着力を有する第2粘着剤層10を設けた帯状のテープであり、圧着ローラ11で加圧して粘着テープ1に貼付ける。そして、図8(b)に示すように、その剥離テープ8を斜め上方に引張り、半導体基板4側に貼付いた粘着テープ1を剥離テープ8側に移し取ることで粘着テープ1を半導体基板4から剥離する。
【0012】
このとき、剥離テープ8及び粘着テープ1は、先ず、半導体基板4の外周から中心に向って斜め上方に引張られるため、半導体基板4に半径方向の曲げ応力が加わる。また、これに加えて、吸着ステージ5の平坦度の劣化や吸着孔7の詰まりなどがあり、半導体基板4の外周部での吸着力が低下すると、半導体基板4を吸着ステージ5にしっかりと保持し切れず、半導体基板4の端が吸着ステージ5から僅かに浮上り、その結果、曲げ応力に負けて基板割れが生じることがあった。
【0013】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープの剥離方法及び剥離テープには以下の問題があった。先ず、第1の剥離方法として、粘着テープを熱収縮性のテープとし、それを加熱して熱変形させ半導体基板から剥離する方法の場合、粘着テープ全面を一斉に均一に加熱するため、粘着テープ全体が半導体基板の外周から中心に向って比較的急激に縮もうとして、半導体基板に半径方向の反り応力が加わり、これに吸着ステージの吸着力低下が重なると、半導体基板をしっかりと保持し切れず、反り応力に負けて基板割れが生じることがあった。
【0014】
また、第2の剥離方法として、粘着テープに剥離テープを貼付けて、その剥離テープを引張って粘着テープを半導体基板から剥離する方法の場合、剥離テープ及び粘着テープは、半導体基板の外周から中心に向って斜め上方に引張られるため、半導体基板に半径方向の曲げ応力が加わり、これに吸着ステージの吸着力低下が重なると、半導体基板をしっかりと保持し切れず、曲げ応力に負けて基板割れが生じることがあった。
【0015】
本発明の目的は、裏面研磨で薄くなった半導体基板の裏面を吸着して表面の粘着テープを剥離する際に、半導体基板に半導体基板を半径方向に変形させる過大な応力が加わらないようにして、基板割れが発生しない粘着テープの剥離方法及び剥離テープを提供することである。
【0016】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の粘着テープの剥離方法は、熱収縮性を有する基材の上に粘着剤層を設けた半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープを半導体基板の表面に貼付けて、半導体基板の裏面を研磨した後、粘着テープを加熱して熱変形させ半導体基板から剥離する剥離方法において、先ず最初に、半導体基板に半導体基板を半径方向に変形させる過大な応力が加わらないように、粘着テープを部分的に加熱して熱変形させることを特徴とする剥離方法である。
【0017】
本発明の他の剥離方法は、伸縮性を有する第1基材の上に、第1粘着剤層を設けた半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープを半導体基板の表面に貼付けて、半導体基板の裏面を研磨した後、半導体基板から粘着テープを剥離する剥離方法において、熱収縮性を有する第2基材の上に、熱変形の際に、半導体基板に半導体基板を半径方向に変形させる過大な応力が加わらないような形状に第2粘着剤層を設けた剥離テープを粘着テープに貼付けて、剥離テープを加熱して熱変形させ粘着テープを半導体基板から剥離することを特徴とする剥離方法である。
【0018】
本発明の剥離テープは、伸縮性を有する第1基材の上に、第1粘着剤層を設けた半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープを半導体基板から剥離する剥離テープであって、熱収縮性を有する第2基材の上に、熱変形の際に、半導体基板に半導体基板を半径方向に変形させる過大な応力が加わらないような形状に第2粘着剤層を設けたことを特徴とする剥離テープである。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の半導体基板の表面保護用の粘着テープの剥離方法及び剥離テープの一例を図1〜図5に示す。尚、図6〜図8と同一部分には同一符号を付す。
【0020】
先ず、図1(a)に示すように、粘着テープ1は、伸縮性を有する基材2の一方の主面全面に粘着剤層3が設けられており、この粘着テープ1を半導体基板4の素子形成済みの表面4aに貼付けて素子(図示せず)を保護する。
【0021】
次に、図1(b)に示すように、粘着テープ1を貼付けた半導体基板4の裏面4bを研磨装置(図示せず)で、所望の厚さになるまで薄く研磨する。
【0022】
次に、研磨後の半導体基板4から不要となった粘着テープ1を剥離する。
【0023】
本発明の第1の剥離方法は、先ず、図2(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の裏面4bを平坦な吸着ステージ5上に載置し、末端を真空ポンプ6に接続した複数の吸着孔7を通してしっかりと真空吸着し、剥離の際に、半導体基板4に不所望な変形が起きにくいように保持する。
【0024】
次に、粘着テープ1を加熱して熱変形させ半導体基板4から剥離する。このとき、粘着テープ1全面を一斉に均一に加熱するのではなく、先ず、最初に、所望の部分だけが加熱できるような開口パターンを有する加熱用マスク101の開口部102を通して、部分的に粘着テープ1を加熱する。その後、図2(b)に示すように、加熱用マスク101を取り去って、粘着テープ1全面を加熱する。
【0025】
ここで、加熱用マスク101には、半導体基板4の外周部に対応する開口部102が設けてあり、最初の加熱で、半導体基板4の外周部の粘着テープ1のみを加熱して熱変形させる。この熱変形は、部分的な熱変形であり、粘着テープ1全体の熱変形に比較して緩やかである。また、粘着テープ1は、半導体基板4の円周方向に大きく熱変形するため、半径方向に生じる反り応力は小さく、半導体基板4が割れる心配がない。その後、粘着テープ1全面を加熱して熱変形させ剥離する。即ち、比較的、基板割れが生じやすい半導体基板4の外周部を最初に部分的に剥離した後、全面を剥離するのである。このようにすると、半導体基板4に急激に過大な反り応力を加えることなく粘着テープ1の剥離ができる。
【0026】
尚、粘着テープ1の粘着剤層3を形成する接着剤の種類を、加熱により粘着力が低下する熱発泡性の接着剤とすると、一回の加熱で、粘着剤層3の粘着力低下と、粘着テープ1の熱変形とを同時に行うことができて好適である。また、加熱用マスク101の開口部102の形状は、粘着テープ1が半導体基板4の半径方向に急激に熱変形することのないように配慮した形状であれば特に限定するものではなく、例えば、図3(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の外周から中心に向う渦巻き形状の開口部102aでもよく、図3(b)に示すように、市松模様の開口部102bであってもよい。また、加熱用マスク101を使用せず、熱源(図示せず)自身の形状を、半導体基板4の外周部に対応する形状、渦巻き形状、市松形状などの形状としてもよく、また、熱源(図示せず)を移動可能とし、粘着テープ1を半導体基板4の外周部に対応する形状、渦巻き形状、市松形状などの形状に移動しながら加熱していく構成としてもよいことは言うまでもない。また、粘着テープ1を加熱する方法は、特に限定するものではなく、半導体基板4の上方に配置した熱源(図示せず)からの輻射熱、あるいは、温風吹付けなどによる加熱方法でもよく、また、吸着ステージ5にヒータなどの熱源(図示せず)を内蔵させ熱伝導で加熱する方法でもよい。
【0027】
本発明の第2の剥離方法及び剥離テープは、先ず、図4(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の裏面4bを平坦な吸着ステージ5上に載置し、末端を真空ポンプ6に接続した複数の吸着孔7を通してしっかりと真空吸着し、剥離の際に、半導体基板4に不所望な変形が起きにくいように保持する。
【0028】
次に、粘着テープ1に剥離テープ201を貼付ける。ここで、剥離テープ201は、熱収縮性を有する第2基材202の上に、半導体基板4の外周部に対応する形状に第2粘着剤層203が設けてあり、この剥離テープ201の第2粘着剤層203が、半導体基板4の外周部と丁度、相対するように圧着ローラ11で加圧して貼付ける。
【0029】
次に、図4(b)に示すように、剥離テープ201全面を加熱して熱変形させ、この熱変形に伴って剥離テープ201に貼付いた部分の粘着テープ1が変形し半導体基板4から浮上り剥離する。ここで、剥離テープ201には、半導体基板4の外周部に対応する部分にだけ粘着剤層203が設けられているため、この熱変形は、部分的な熱変形であり、粘着テープ1全体の熱変形に比較して緩やかである。また、粘着テープ1は、半導体基板4の円周方向に大きく熱変形するため、半径方向に生じる反り応力は小さく、半導体基板4が割れる心配がない。その後、半導体基板4の外周部の剥離した粘着テープ1の端をピンセット(図示せず)などを使用して、粘着テープ1全体を半導体基板4から取り去ることは容易である。即ち、比較的、基板割れが生じやすい半導体基板4の外周部を最初に部分的に剥離した後、全面を剥離するのである。このようにすると、半導体基板4に急激に過大な反り応力を加えることなく粘着テープ1の剥離ができる。
【0030】
尚、粘着テープ1の粘着剤層3を形成する接着剤の種類を、加熱により粘着力が低下する熱発泡性の接着剤とすると、一回の加熱で、粘着剤層3の粘着力低下と、剥離テープ201の熱変形とを同時に行うことができて好適である。また、剥離テープ201の上に設ける第2粘着剤層203の形状は、粘着テープ1が半導体基板4の半径方向に急激に熱変形することのないように配慮した形状であれば、特に、限定するものではなく、例えば、図5(a)に示すように、半導体基板4の外周から中心に向う渦巻き形状の第2粘着剤層203aでもよく、図5(b)に示すように、市松模様の第2粘着剤層203bであってもよい。また、剥離テープ201を加熱する方法は、特に限定するものではなく、半導体基板4の上方に配置した熱源(図示せず)からの輻射熱、あるいは、温風吹付けなどによる加熱方法でもよく、また、吸着ステージ5にヒータなどの熱源(図示せず)を内蔵させ熱伝導で加熱する方法でもよい。
【0031】
【発明の効果】
本発明の第1の剥離方法によれば、熱収縮性を有する粘着テープを、最初に部分的に加熱及び熱変形させるので、半導体基板の半径方向に急激に過大な応力が加わることがなく、半導体基板が割れる心配がない。また、この最初に加熱する部分の形状を、半導体基板の外周部に対応する形状、半導体基板の外周から中心に向う渦巻き形状、または、市松模様とすると好適である。また、粘着テープの粘着剤層を形成する接着剤の種類を、加熱により粘着力が低下する熱発泡性の接着剤とすると、一回の加熱で、粘着剤層の粘着力低下と、粘着テープの熱変形とを同時に行うことができる。
【0032】
本発明の第2の剥離方法及び剥離テープによれば、熱変形の際に、半導体基板の半径方向に過大な応力が加わらないような形状に第2粘着剤層を設けた剥離テープを使用するため、半導体基板が割れる心配がない。また、この第2粘着剤層の形状を、半導体基板の外周部に対応する形状、半導体基板の外周から中心に向う渦巻き形状、または、市松模様とすると好適である。また、粘着テープの粘着剤層を形成する接着剤の種類を、加熱により粘着力が低下する熱発泡性の接着剤とすると、一回の加熱で、粘着剤層の粘着力低下と、粘着テープの熱変形とを同時に行うことができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of peeling an adhesive tape for surface protection to be attached to a semiconductor substrate and a peeling tape, and in particular, it is possible to peel the adhesive tape from the semiconductor substrate without damaging the thinned semiconductor substrate by polishing the back surface. The present invention relates to a peeling method and a peeling tape which can be used.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in the case of a compound semiconductor substrate such as a GaAs substrate, after an element is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, an adhesive tape for protecting the surface is attached to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the back surface is polished to reduce the thermal resistance. Work very thin (about 30-100 μm). For this reason, it is necessary to peel off the unnecessary adhesive tape after polishing without damaging the semiconductor substrate.
[0003]
6 to 8 show an example of a conventional method of peeling an adhesive tape for protecting a surface of a semiconductor substrate and an example of a peeling tape.
[0004]
First, as shown in FIG. 6A, an adhesive tape 1 is provided with an adhesive layer 3 on the entire one main surface of a stretchable base material 2. The element (not shown) is attached to the surface 4a on which the element has been formed to protect the element.
[0005]
Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the back surface 4b of the semiconductor substrate 4 to which the adhesive tape 1 has been attached is polished thinly with a back surface polishing device (not shown) until a desired thickness is obtained.
[0006]
Next, the unnecessary adhesive tape 1 is peeled off from the polished semiconductor substrate 4.
[0007]
In the first peeling method, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, the back surface 4 b of the semiconductor substrate 4 is placed on a flat suction stage 5, and a plurality of suction holes 7 whose ends are connected to a vacuum pump 6. Through which the semiconductor substrate 4 is held in such a manner that undesired deformation is unlikely to occur during peeling.
[0008]
Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the entire surface of the heat-shrinkable adhesive tape 1 is heated and thermally deformed, and the adhesive tape 1 is peeled off from the semiconductor substrate 4 by utilizing the floating. However, at this time, since the entire surface of the adhesive tape 1 is uniformly and uniformly heated, the entire adhesive tape 1 tends to shrink relatively rapidly from the outer periphery to the center of the semiconductor substrate 4. Therefore, a radial warping stress is applied to the semiconductor substrate 4 to warp the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 obliquely upward. In addition, if the flatness of the suction stage 5 is deteriorated or the suction holes 7 are clogged, the suction force at the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 is reduced, and the semiconductor substrate 4 is moved to the suction stage 5. And the edge of the semiconductor substrate 4 slightly floats from the suction stage 5, and as a result, the substrate may be cracked by losing the warpage stress.
[0009]
Here, the method of heating the adhesive tape 1 is not particularly limited, and may be a radiant heat from a heat source (not shown) disposed above the semiconductor substrate 4 or a heating method by blowing hot air. Alternatively, a method may be used in which a heat source (not shown) such as a heater is built in the adsorption stage 5 and heating is performed by heat conduction.
[0010]
In the second peeling method, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the back surface 4b of the semiconductor substrate 4 is placed on a flat suction stage 5 and a plurality of suction holes 7 whose ends are connected to a vacuum pump 6. Through which the semiconductor substrate 4 is held in such a manner that undesired deformation is unlikely to occur during peeling. In the second peeling method, the base material 2 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 may not be heat-shrinkable.
[0011]
Next, a release tape 8 is attached to the adhesive tape 1. The release tape 8 is a strip-shaped tape provided with a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 10 having an adhesive force stronger than the adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 on the entire one main surface of the second base material 9. The pressure is applied by the pressure roller 11 and the adhesive tape 1 is attached. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the peeling tape 8 is pulled obliquely upward and the adhesive tape 1 stuck on the semiconductor substrate 4 side is transferred to the peeling tape 8 side, whereby the adhesive tape 1 is separated from the semiconductor substrate 4. Peel off.
[0012]
At this time, since the peeling tape 8 and the adhesive tape 1 are first pulled obliquely upward from the outer periphery of the semiconductor substrate 4 toward the center, a bending stress is applied to the semiconductor substrate 4 in the radial direction. In addition to this, if the flatness of the suction stage 5 is deteriorated or the suction holes 7 are clogged, and the suction force at the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 is reduced, the semiconductor substrate 4 is firmly held on the suction stage 5. As a result, the end of the semiconductor substrate 4 slightly lifted from the suction stage 5, and as a result, the substrate was sometimes cracked by losing bending stress.
[0013]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional method of peeling an adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor substrate and the peeling tape have the following problems. First, as a first peeling method, in the case of using a heat-shrinkable tape as an adhesive tape and heating and thermally deforming the adhesive tape to peel it from the semiconductor substrate, the adhesive tape is heated uniformly all over at once. When the entire substrate shrinks relatively rapidly from the outer periphery to the center of the semiconductor substrate, a radial warping stress is applied to the semiconductor substrate, and when the suction force of the suction stage overlaps with this, the semiconductor substrate is firmly held and cut. In some cases, the substrate cracked due to warpage stress.
[0014]
Further, as a second peeling method, in the case of a method of sticking a peeling tape to an adhesive tape and pulling the peeling tape to peel the adhesive tape from the semiconductor substrate, the peeling tape and the adhesive tape are centered from the outer periphery of the semiconductor substrate. Since the semiconductor substrate is pulled diagonally upward, a bending stress in the radial direction is applied to the semiconductor substrate, and when the suction force of the suction stage is reduced, the semiconductor substrate cannot be firmly held. May have occurred.
[0015]
An object of the present invention is to prevent excessive stress that deforms the semiconductor substrate in the radial direction on the semiconductor substrate when the adhesive tape on the front surface is peeled off by adsorbing the back surface of the semiconductor substrate thinned by the back surface polishing. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of peeling an adhesive tape and a peeling tape, which do not cause substrate cracking.
[0016]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The adhesive tape peeling method of the present invention is a method in which an adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor substrate provided with an adhesive layer on a heat-shrinkable substrate is attached to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the back surface of the semiconductor substrate is polished. Then, in the peeling method of heating and thermally deforming the adhesive tape and peeling it from the semiconductor substrate, first, the adhesive tape is partially applied so that excessive stress that radially deforms the semiconductor substrate is not applied to the semiconductor substrate. This method is characterized in that the material is heated and thermally deformed.
[0017]
In another peeling method of the present invention, an adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor substrate provided with a first adhesive layer on a first base material having elasticity is attached to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. In the peeling method of peeling the adhesive tape from the semiconductor substrate after polishing the back surface, an excessively large amount of the semiconductor substrate is deformed in the radial direction on the heat-shrinkable second base material when the semiconductor substrate is thermally deformed. A peeling method characterized in that a peeling tape provided with a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in a shape such that stress is not applied is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and the peeling tape is thermally deformed by heating to release the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape from the semiconductor substrate. is there.
[0018]
The peeling tape of the present invention is a peeling tape for peeling an adhesive tape for protecting a surface of a semiconductor substrate provided with a first adhesive layer on a stretchable first substrate from a semiconductor substrate, The second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on a second base material having a property such that the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided in such a shape that excessive stress for radially deforming the semiconductor substrate is not applied to the semiconductor substrate during thermal deformation. Release tape.

[0029]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the entire surface of the release tape 201 is heated and thermally deformed, and the adhesive tape 1 attached to the release tape 201 is deformed and floats from the semiconductor substrate 4 with the thermal deformation. Peel off. Here, since the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 203 is provided only on the portion corresponding to the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 on the release tape 201, this thermal deformation is a partial thermal deformation, and Slow compared to thermal deformation. Further, since the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 is largely thermally deformed in the circumferential direction of the semiconductor substrate 4, the warp stress generated in the radial direction is small, and there is no fear that the semiconductor substrate 4 is broken. Thereafter, it is easy to remove the entire adhesive tape 1 from the semiconductor substrate 4 using tweezers (not shown) at the end of the adhesive tape 1 from which the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 has been peeled off. That is, the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 4 where the substrate crack is relatively likely to occur is first partially removed, and then the entire surface is removed. By doing so, the adhesive tape 1 can be peeled without suddenly applying excessive warping stress to the semiconductor substrate 4.
[0030]
In addition, if the kind of the adhesive forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 is a heat-foamable adhesive whose pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is reduced by heating, a single heating can reduce the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3. This is preferable because the thermal deformation of the release tape 201 can be performed simultaneously. The shape of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 203 provided on the release tape 201 is not particularly limited as long as the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 is shaped so as not to be rapidly thermally deformed in the radial direction of the semiconductor substrate 4. Instead, for example, as shown in FIG. 5A, a spiral-shaped second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 203a extending from the outer periphery of the semiconductor substrate 4 to the center may be used. As shown in FIG. Of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 203b.
