An adhesive bonding method that includes bonding a handling wafer to a front side surface of a device wafer with an adhesive comprising N-substituted maleimide copolymers. The device wafer may then be thinned from the backside surface of the device wafer while the device wafer is adhesively engaged to the handling wafer. The adhesive can then be removed by laser debonding, wherein the device wafer is separated from the handling wafer.

A resin composition includes an acrylic resin and a graft copolymer having a gel content of 65% to 84%, wherein the graft copolymer is a multistage-polymerized graft copolymer obtained by a multistage polymerization including the polymerization stages (I) to (III). In the polymerization stage (I), a first monomer mixture and a polyfunctional monomer are polymerized in a presence of a primary alkyl mercaptan-based chain transfer agent and/or a secondary alkyl mercaptan-based chain transfer agent to obtain a first hard polymer. In the polymerization stage (II), a second monomer mixture and a polyfunctional monomer are poloymerized to obtain a soft polymer. In the polymerization stage (III), a third monomer mixture and a polyfunctional monomer are polymerized to obtain a second hard polymer.
