Abstract
A method and an apparatus wherein the thin semiconductor wafer is cut into a unit of a thin semiconductor element under the condition of being stuck on an adhesive sheet. A group of the semiconductor elements are removed from the adhesive sheet at high speed without incurring and breaking each semiconductor element thereof, and the semiconductor elements are picked up from the removed group of the semiconductor elements by a predetermined unit.
Claims13
A separating apparatus of semiconductor elements, comprising:
- a chuck means for holding a group of semiconductor elements as an object, being adhered on an adhesive sheet which is fixed on a frame at a periphery thereof, under a condition of being a semiconductor wafer and cut out into units of the semiconductor elements;
- a stretch mechanism for stretching the adhesive sheet in a predetermined direction while holding an end thereof, under a condition of holding the group of semiconductor elements on said chuck means;
- a forming means for stripping said adhesive sheet from the group of semiconductor elements by moving in a predetermined direction, while keeping said adhesive sheet at a predetermined position when stretching the adhesive sheet by said stretch mechanism;
- and
- a means for holding at least respective ones of the semiconductor elements to be held by the chuck means as said adhesive sheet is stripped from the group of semiconductor elements.

A separating apparatus of semiconductor elements comprising:
- a separation element having a chuck which holds a group of semiconductor elements as an object, being stuck on an adhesive sheet under a condition of being a semiconductor wafer and cut into units of the semiconductor elements;
- a strip element which strips the adhesive sheet from the group of semiconductor elements being held on the chuck;
- and
- a means for holding respective ones of the semiconductor elements so as to be held on the chuck as the adhesive sheet is stripped from the group of semiconductor elements;
- wherein the strip element includes a mechanism to fix the strip angle of the adhesive sheet.
