Abstract

See full text

When heat or UV radiation is applied to an adhesive tape (130) which bonds a semiconductor wafer (110) to a carrier (120), the appropriate lift-off time for separating the wafer from the carrier is determined by monitoring the thickness (T or .DELTA.T) of the wafer/tape/carrier sandwich. When the thickness or the thickness change has reached a predefined value or range of values, independently moveable driving members (510R) drive the wafer or the carrier with small forces at a plurality of spaced-apart locations along the periphery. As a result, the lift-off is initiated at the location of the weakest adhesion.
