Patent ID: 6872634

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a micro-semiconductor element, comprising: adhering a semiconductor wafer, having a circuit surface and a back surface, to a support plate via a protective film so that the circuit surface faces the protective film; reducing a thickness of the semiconductor wafer while the semiconductor wafer is supported by the support plate; dividing the semiconductor wafer into individual semiconductor elements while the semiconductor wafer is adhered to the protective film; moving the semiconductor elements from the protective film to a first surface of an adhesive peeling film in such a manner that the respective back surfaces of the individual semiconductor elements are adhered to the first surface of the peeling film; subjecting the peeling film to a treatment by which the adhesion property thereof is lost or reduced; and accommodating the semiconductor elements in an accommodating container by sucking the individual semiconductor elements from the peeling film using an air suction nozzle.
