Abstract:
A method of processing a wafer having a plurality of devices partitioned by division lines, including attaching the wafer to an adhesive tape supported by a first annular frame, dividing the wafer along the division lines into a plurality of dies, and placing the wafer (and the adhesive tape) on a support surface of a support member before or after dividing the wafer, wherein an outer diameter of the support member in the plane of the support surface is smaller than an inner diameter of the first annular frame. The method also includes moving the first annular frame and at least a peripheral part of the support member relative to each other to radially expand the adhesive tape, thereby moving the dies away from each other, and attaching a second annular frame to a portion of the expanded adhesive tape arranged at the peripheral part of the support member.

Claim (Index 4):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first annular frame and the entire support member are moved relative to each other in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the support surface, so as to radially expand the adhesive tape in the directions lying in the plane of the support surface, thereby moving the dies away from each other.
