Abstract

A starting point for cleavage made up of at least one of a groove and a through hole is formed on a chip dividing line or a dicing line along the cleaved surface of a wafer. Liquid matter is injected into the starting point. Then, the liquid matter is changed by applying an external factor that changes the liquid matter physically. Making use of the change, the wafer is cleaved so as to divide the wafer into semiconductor chips.
