Abstract

An adhesive tape comprising an energy beam transmittable base sheet having a surface tension of not more than 40 dyne/cm and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the base sheet, the adhesive layer comprising a (meth)acrylate polymer, an epoxy resin, a photopolymerizable low molecular weight compound, a heat activatable potential curing agent for the epoxy resin and a photopolymerization initiator for the photopolymerizable low molecular weight compound. The adhesive in the adhesive layer is curable with an energy beam and the so cured adhesive develops tackiness again when heated. When the tape is used in processing a semiconductor wafer, it serves as a dicing tape for holding the wafer in position during the dicing step. Each piece of the diced and cured adhesive layer, that is attached to each chip and capable of being tackified by heating, provides an adhesive required for securely mounting the chip on the lead frame in the die-bonding step.
