A substrate mounting method, performed by a mounting apparatus includes providing a stack including a substrate, a first protective member, and a second protective member, the first protective member being an outermost layer, cutting the stack to obtain at least one chip, removing the first protective member from the at least one chip, heating at least a portion of the second protective member, holding the at least one chip by attaching a bonding head of the mounting apparatus to the heated second protective member, and bonding the at least one chip to a base substrate using the bonding head.

A non-contact semiconductor die singulation process utilizes compressed air to separate a first portion of a semiconductor wafer from a second portion of the semiconductor wafer. During the non-contact semiconductor die singulation process, the semiconductor wafer is placed on dicing tape. A channel is formed along various scribe lines in the semiconductor wafer. When the channels are formed, a compressed air tool applies compressed air along a length of the channel. Pressure from the compressed air causes the semiconductor wafer to deform. As the semiconductor wafer deforms, the semiconductor wafer cracks or splits along the length of the scribe line thereby separating the first portion of the semiconductor wafer from the second portion.

The package structure also includes a semiconductor device disposed on the dielectric structure and a protective layer surrounding the semiconductor device. The package structure further includes a conductive feature electrically connecting the semiconductor device and the antenna structure. A portion of the antenna structure is between the conductive feature and the dielectric structure.

A carrier film includes an adhesive layer, a core layer, and a release layer.

E (5 C.) is 2.010.sup.6 to 2.010.sup.9 Pa, and a storage elastic modulus 100 C. E (100 C.) is 1.010.sup.6 to 3.010.sup.7 Pa.

A wafer processing method includes emitting a laser beam along an annular line that is a predetermined distance inward of the outer circumferential edge of the first wafer to form, in the first wafer, an annular first modified layer and a first crack extending from the first modified layer to make an appearance on the front surface, thereby causing the first wafer to become warped at an outer circumferential region thereof that lies closer to the outer circumferential edge than does the first modified layer and the first crack; bonding the front surface of the first wafer to a second wafer to form a bonded wafer stack; and grinding a rear surface of the first wafer of the bonded wafer stack to thin the first wafer to a finish thickness.

An expansion method includes an expansion step of expanding a sheet between an outer periphery of a wafer and an inner periphery of an annular frame in a wafer unit, and a heating step of heating the sheet in its region between the outer periphery of the wafer and the inner periphery of the annular frame by a heating unit to allow slack of the sheet, the slack having been formed in the expansion step, to shrink. The region includes a first region, and a second region that is harder to shrink by the heating than the first region. On the sheet, heat spots of a temperature higher than that of the sheet surrounding the heat spots are formed with heat radiated to the sheet. In the heating step, the heating unit is moved such that the heat spots are positioned over an entirety of at least the second region.

A wafer-level-package device with peripheral side wall protection has a die, multiple conductive bumps, and a protection layer.
