Abstract

See full text

A protective sheeting for use in processing a semiconductor-sized wafer has a substantially circular base sheet and a substantially annular adhesive layer applied to a peripheral portion of a first surface of the base sheet. The inner diameter of the adhesive layer is smaller than the diameter of the wafer. Further, the outer diameter of the adhesive layer is larger than the inner diameter of an annular frame for holding the wafer. A related method includes attaching the protective sheeting to a front side or a back side of the wafer via the adhesive layer on the first surface of the base sheet so that an inner peripheral portion of the adhesive layer adheres to an outer peripheral portion of the front side or the back side of the wafer, and processing the wafer after the protective sheeting has been attached to the front side or the back side thereof.
