Abstract
A wafer dividing method including a step of applying a laser beam to a wafer along division lines with the focal point of the laser beam set inside the wafer, thereby forming modified layers inside the wafer along the division lines; a step of attaching an adhesive tape to the wafer, the adhesive tape having a base sheet and an adhesive layer; a dividing step of applying an external force to the wafer by expanding the adhesive tape, thereby dividing the wafer along the division lines to obtain a plurality of device chips; and a debris catching step of heating the adhesive tape to thereby soften the adhesive layer such that it enters the space between any adjacent ones of the device chips obtained by the dividing step, thereby catching debris generated on the side surface of each device chip in the dividing step to the adhesive layer by adhesion.
