ABSTRACT:
In order to prevent dusting from a peripheral end portion of a wafer, a semiconductor film formed is removed from at least the entire surface of the backside of the wafer and from the peripheral portion of the wafer by etching at a high etching rate relative to an insulating film present beneath the semiconductor film, to realize a semiconductor apparatus in which the semiconductor film is formed in an integrated circuit pattern region on the face side of the wafer.Thus, the problem of dusting from the peripheral portion of the wafer is obviated, and a semiconductor apparatus with high reliability is realized.
