ABSTRACT:
A micromachine device processing method for dividing a functional wafer, which has micromachine devices formed in a plurality of regions demarcated by streets formed in a lattice pattern on a face of the functional wafer, along the streets into the individual micromachine devices, each micromachine device having a moving portion and an electrode, comprising: a cap wafer groove forming step of forming dividing grooves, which have a depth corresponding to a finished thickness of a cap wafer for protecting the face of the functional wafer, along regions in one surface of the cap wafer which correspond to areas of the electrodes of the micromachine devices; a cap wafer joining step of joining the one surface of the cap wafer subjected to the cap wafer groove forming step to the face of the functional wafer at peripheries of the moving portions; a cap wafer grinding step of grinding the other surface of the cap wafer joined to the face of the functional wafer to expose the dividing grooves to the outside; and a cutting step of cutting the functional wafer and the cap wafer subjected to the cap wafer grinding step along the streets.
