A method of processing a wafer having on one side a device area with a plurality of devices includes providing a protective film and applying the protective film to the device side of the wafer or to the other side of the wafer, so that at least a central area of a front surface of the protective film is in direct contact with the device side or the other side of the wafer. The protective film is attached to the device side or to other side of the wafer, so that at least a part of a peripheral portion of the protective film is attached to at least a part of a lateral edge of the wafer along the entire circumference of the wafer. The lateral edge of the wafer extends from the device side of the wafer to the other side of the wafer.
