Abstract

A semiconductor wafer processing tape comprises a permanent backing and a layer of a non-pressure sensitive adhesive comprising a thermoplastic elastomer block copolymer on the permanent backing. Optionally, the adhesive may include an adhesion modifier such as a tackifying resin, a liquid rubber or a photocrosslinking agent. The tapes are useful for both wafer grinding and wafer dicing applications. A method of processing semiconductor wafers is disclosed.
