Abstract
Apparatus for forming a protective member on a wafer includes a stage for mounting a sheet, the stage having a frame and a chuck table supported to and surrounded by the frame, the frame having a plurality of air supply holes opening to the upper surface of the frame. A holding unit is adapted to be moved to a position opposed to the stage for holding the wafer, and a resin supply unit supplies a liquid resin to the upper surface of the sheet placed on the stage. The liquid resin is formed into the protective member. A sheet pressing pad vertically movably supported so as to be opposed to the sheet is placed on the stage. The sheet pressing pad comes into contact with a part of the sheet placed on the stage in an area inside the air supply holes, thereby pressing the sheet.
