ABSTRACT:
A method of dividing and separating a wafer having a plurality of devices formed on its front surface, which are separated by streets. The method includes applying a resist film coating to a portion of the back surface of the wafer other than an area corresponding to the streets, and plasma etching the area of the back surface corresponding to the streets to divide the wafer into a plurality of individual devices. The thickness of the resist film coating is adjusted in the coating operation to allow the resist film to be completely removed during the plasma etching.
