A technique capable of stably releasing chips from a dicing tape, includes grinding a back surface of a semiconductor wafer, while adhering a pressure sensitive adhesive tape to a circuit forming surface of the semiconductor wafer formed with an integrated circuit, to achieve a predetermined thickness and forcibly oxidizing the back surface of the semiconductor wafer. Then, the pressure sensitive adhesive tape adhered to the circuit forming surface of the semiconductor wafer is released, and a dicing tape is adhered to the back surface of the semiconductor wafer. Further, the semiconductor wafer is divided by dicing it into individual chips, and then the back surface of the chip is pressed by way of the dicing tape, thereby releasing the chips from the dicing tape.

Fabrication method of semiconductor integrated circuit device

Extremely thin chips laminated to a non-ultraviolet ray curing type adhesive tape are peeled from the tape without giving rise to cracks and chippings. In a center portion of a suction block used for peeling off a chip laminated to a dicing tape, three blocks which push the dicing tape upwardly are incorporated. With respect to these blocks, inside the first block having a largest diameter, there is a second block having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the first block. Further, inside the second block, there is a third block having the smallest diameter. To peel off a chip by pushing a back surface of the dicing tape with the blocks, first of all, the three blocks are simultaneously pushed upwardly by a certain amount and, thereafter, the intermediate block and the inner block are further pushed upward, and, finally, the inner block is further pushed upward.
