Patent ID: 8198176

Claim:
A method for producing a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film comprising steps of: preparing a laminate in which at least a divided semiconductor wafer comprising a plurality of semiconductor chips, obtained by forming a cut which separates the semiconductor wafer into a plurality of semiconductor chips on one side of the semiconductor wafer in a thickness less than that of the semiconductor wafer and by grinding the other side of the semiconductor wafer on which no cut is formed to reach the cut, an adhesive film for a semiconductor and a dicing tape are laminated, the adhesive film for a semiconductor having a thickness in the range of 1 to 15 μm and a tensile elongation at break of less than 5%, and the tensile elongation at break being less than 110% of the elongation at a maximum load; and dividing the adhesive film for a semiconductor by applying a shearing force thereto, which is generated when picking up the plurality of semiconductor chips in a laminating direction of the laminate, thereby preparing a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film, said preparing said laminate including attaching the adhesive film for the semiconductor and the dicing tape in that order to the back side of the divided semiconductor wafer, or attaching a composite sheet of said adhesive film and said dicing tape to the back side of the divided semiconductor wafer in such a direction that the adhesive film for the semiconductor is between the back side of the divided semiconductor wafer and the dicing tape.
