Patent ID: 7459343

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having first and second principle surfaces, the method comprising: forming a metal adhesion layer on the first principle surface, then forming a photoresist layer thereon; grinding the second principle surface of a semiconductor substrate opposite to the first principle surface of the semiconductor substrate on which semiconductor device elements are formed; attaching a support structure configured to support the semiconductor substrate to the second principle surface after the grinding step; removing the photoresist layer and forming a molded resin on the metal adhesion laver; detaching the semiconductor substrate from the support structure; wherein the support structure comprises: an adhesive layer formed to contact with the semiconductor substrate; and a supporting layer to support the adhesive layer, the supporting layer being made from one of glass and ceramic; the adhesive layer including a first adhesive layer to adhere to the semiconductor substrate; a second adhesive layer to adhere to the supporting layer, having an adhesive force greater than an adhesive force of the first adhesive layer; and a base layer interposed between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer, said second adhesive layer capable of adhering to the support structure and capable of being removed from the support structure.
