Abstract:
A method of processing a semiconductor wafer, comprising:coating a front surface of a semiconductor wafer with a resist material to form a resist layer thereon; forming a plurality of holes in said resist layer to extend through said resist layer to said front surface of said semiconductor wafer; forming a plurality of metal bumps to project as bumps from said front surface of said semiconductor wafer, each of said metal bumps being disposed in one of said plurality of holes formed in said resist layer; positioning said semiconductor wafer, which has said metal bumps disposed in said holes of said resist layer, on a chuck table such that said resist layer is supported on said chuck table and said front surface of said semiconductor wafer faces said chuck table; and grinding a rear surface of said semiconductor wafer while said semiconductor wafer is positioned on said chuck table.
