Patent ID: 6946328

Claim:
A method for manufacturing semiconductor devices comprising: forming an array of semiconductor chips on an active surface of a semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer also including a backside surface and having an initial thickness; removing a portion of the initial thickness of the semiconductor wafer from the backside surface to form a thinned semiconductor wafer having a secondary backside surface; applying an organic adhesive layer to the secondary backside surface; curing the layer of organic adhesive to form a B-stage adhesive layer; sawing the thinned semiconductor substrate and the B-stage adhesive layer to separate the array of semiconductor chips into a plurality of individual semiconductor chips, each of the individual semiconductor chips including a portion of the B-stage adhesive layer; attaching one of the individual semiconductor chips to a circuit substrate using the portion of the B-stage adhesive layer; and curing the portion of the B-stage adhesive layer to form a C-stage adhesive portion.
