Abstract

A peeling jig is provided for peeling a bonded wafer having voids formed in bonding surfaces so as to rebond, which does not injure the bonding surfaces or cause the adherence of particles thereto. The peeling jig includes a wedge portion 1a for inserting into the bonding surfaces, and a flat portion provided at the both sides of the base of the wedge portion. The apex angle of the wedge portion, when the chamfered angles at the bonding sides of the supporting substrate and active wafer of the bonded wafer to be separated are respectively .alpha. and .beta., is .theta. and .theta.>.alpha.+.beta.. When the wedge portion is inserted into the bonding surfaces, the right and left inclined surfaces of the wedge portion are in contact with the peripheries of the chamfered portions, and then chamfered portions are flared. Accordingly, the bonded wafer is separated by the wedge portion into the supporting substrate and the active wafer without being contacted with the bonding surfaces until the flat portions are in contact with the periphery of the bonded wafer.
