Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a semiconductor device including: providing a temporary fixing laminate having a supporting substrate; machining a semiconductor member that is temporarily fixed to the supporting substrate; and separating the semiconductor member from the supporting substrate by irradiating the temporary fixing laminate with light from a side of a rear surface of the supporting substrate. A plurality of the irradiation target regions set at the rear surface are sequentially irradiated with light, and each of the irradiation target regions includes a part of the rear surface. The irradiation target regions adjacent to each other partially overlap with each other as reviewed from a direction perpendicular to the rear surface, and a region in which the plurality of the irradiation target regions are combined includes the entire rear surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of producing a semiconductor device, the method comprising: providing a temporary fixing laminate comprising a supporting substrate and a temporary fixing material layer, the supporting substrate comprising a supporting surface and a rear surface opposite to the supporting surface, the temporary fixing material layer being provided on the supporting surface and comprising a resin layer comprising at least one outermost surface of the temporary fixing material layer; temporarily fixing a semiconductor member to the supporting substrate with the temporary fixing material layer interposed therebetween; machining the semiconductor member temporarily fixed to the supporting substrate; and separating the semiconductor member from the supporting substrate by irradiating the temporary fixing laminate with light from a side of the rear surface, wherein at least a part of the temporary fixing material layer is a light absorption layer that generates heat by absorbing the light, a plurality of irradiation target regions set at the rear surface are sequentially irradiated with the light, each of the irradiation target regions includes a part of the rear surface, the light is incoherent light including an infrared ray, the irradiation target regions adjacent to each other partially overlap with each other as viewed from a direction perpendicular to the rear surface so that the separation of the machined semiconductor member from the supporting substrate is facilitated, and a region in which the plurality of the irradiation target regions are combined includes the entire rear surface. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a light source of the incoherent light is a xenon lamp. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the temporary fixing material layer comprises, as the light absorption layer, a metal layer that is a separate layer from the resin layer. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the irradiation target regions are set at the rear surface are sequentially irradiated with the light by rotating the supporting substrate in a state where a light source of the light is fixed.
