ABSTRACT:
In a method of cutting a semiconductor wafer in which the semiconductor wafer6is cut by plasma etching, a protective sheet30on which a metallic layer30b, a plasma etching rate of which is low, is formed on one face of an insulating sheet30ais stuck on to a circuit forming face6aby an adhesive layer30c, and plasma is exposed onto an opposite side to the circuit forming face6afrom a mask side which is formed by covering regions except for cutting lines31bwith a resist film31aso as to conduct plasma etching on portions of the cutting lines. Due to the above structure, it is possible to use the metallic layer as an etching stop layer for suppressing the progress of etching. Therefore, fluctuation of the progress of etching can be avoided and heat damage caused on the protective sheet can be prevented.
