Abstract
It is known that it is advantageous in semiconductor wafer production to re-slice a semiconductor wafer having impurity diffusion layers on both sides which are processed or doped in advance of the re-slicing process. In the re-slicing process, a thin slice base is mounted on the periphery of a semiconductor wafer prior to the re-slicing process for protecting the periphery of the wafer from chipping off damage during the re-slicing process by an ID saw or the like. The present invention provides several examples of methods and apparatus for mounting a slice base prepared in advance on the periphery of a semiconductor wafer by utilizing the method and apparatus of the present invention. In addition, another method and apparatus for simultaneously molding and mounting a molded type slice base by using a thermosetting type resin on the periphery of the semiconductor, whereby the re-slicing process of a semiconductor wafer is extremely improved in production and labor cost.
