Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes attaching a semiconductor substrate to a support substrate in a heated state, and processing the semiconductor substrate attached to the support substrate. The support substrate has a linear coefficient different from that of the semiconductor substrate. In an overlap region in which the support substrate overlaps the semiconductor substrate attached to the support substrate, a plurality of through-holes penetrating the support substrate from a front surface to a rear surface is provided. A straight line drawn on the front surface of the support substrate in any direction intersects with at least one of the through holes as long as the straight line is drawn through a center of the overlap region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising: attaching a semiconductor substrate to a support substrate in a heated state; and processing the semiconductor substrate attached to the support substrate, wherein the support substrate has a linear expansion coefficient different from a linear expansion coefficient of the semiconductor substrate, in an overlap region in which the support substrate overlaps the semiconductor substrate attached to the support substrate, a plurality of through holes penetrate the support substrate from a front surface to a rear surface, and a straight line drawn through a center of the overlap region and on the front surface of the support substrate in any direction intersects with at least one of the through holes. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the linear expansion coefficient of the support substrate is larger than the linear expansion coefficient of the semiconductor substrate. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of through holes comprises: a group of first through holes extending intermittently along a first circle around the center of the overlap region; and a group of second through holes extending intermittently along a second circle around the center of the overlap region, and a radius of the first circle is different from a radius of the second circle. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of through holes comprises: a group of third through holes extending along a first direction; and a group of fourth through holes extending along a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the third through holes and the fourth through holes are arranged in a matrix along the first and second directions so that each of the third through holes is adjacent to one of the fourth through holes and each of the fourth through holes is adjacent to one of the third through-holes.
