A pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes (A) 0.1% to 5% an anchorage additive and (B) 95% to 99.9% of a silicone pressure sensitive adhesive composition. This pressure sensitive adhesive composition can be cured to form a pressure sensitive adhesive. When cured on a backing substrate, the resulting adhesive article is useful for protecting electronic devices during fabrication, shipping, and use.

A gel is provided which is the condensation reaction product of the following composition: (i) at least one condensation curable silyl terminated polymer having at least one hydrolysable and/or hydroxyl functional group(s) per molecule; (ii) a cross-linker selected from the group of a silicone, an organic polymer, a silane or a disilane molecule which contains at least two hydrolysable groups per molecule; and (iii) a condensation catalyst selected from the group of titanates, zirconates or tin (II). The molar ratio of hydroxyl and/or hydrolysable groups in polymer (i) to hydrolysable groups from component (ii) is between 0.5:1 and 1:1 using a monosilane cross-linker or 0.75:1 to 3:1 using disilanes, and the molar ratio of M-OR or tin (II) functions to the hydroxyl and/or hydrolysable group(s) in polymer (i) is comprised between 0.01:1 and 0.5:1, where M is titanium or zirconium. The composition, and uses for the gel are also disclosed.

Provided is a technique suitable for multilayering thin semiconductor elements via adhesive bonding while avoiding wafer damage in a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method in which semiconductor elements are multilayered through laminating wafers in which the semiconductor elements are fabricated. The method of the present invention includes bonding and removing. In the bonding step, a back surface 1b side of a thinned wafer 1T in a reinforced wafer 1R having a laminated structure including a supporting substrate S, a temporary adhesive layer 2, and the thinned wafer 1T is bonded via an adhesive to an element forming surface 3a of a wafer 3. A temporary adhesive for forming the temporary adhesive layer 2 contains a polyvalent vinyl ether compound, a compound having two or more hydroxy groups or carboxy groups and thus capable of forming a polymer with the polyvalent vinyl ether compound, and a thermoplastic resin. The adhesive contains a polymerizable group-containing polyorganosilsesquioxane. In the removing step, a temporary adhesion by the temporary adhesive layer 2 between the supporting substrate S and the thinned wafer 1T is released to remove the supporting substrate S.
