Abstract

A wafer processing method includes: a resin film coating step of coating an upper surface of a wafer with a water-soluble resin and coating a dicing tape exposed between the wafer and a frame with a water-soluble resin, and solidifying the water-soluble resin to form a resin film, a partial resin film removing step of removing the resin film from regions to be divided of the wafer to partially expose the upper surface of the wafer, an etching step of subjecting the regions to be divided of the wafer to plasma etching to divide the wafer into individual device chips, and a whole resin film removing step of cleaning a frame unit to remove wholly the resin film.
