ABSTRACT:
A method of dividing a wafer whose strength is reduced along a plurality of dividing lines formed in a lattice pattern on the front surface, along the dividing lines, comprising the steps of:a tape affixing step for affixing a protective tape to one side of the wafer;a wafer holding step for holding the wafer affixed to the protective tape on both sides of each dividing line through the protective tape; anda breaking step for dividing the wafer along each dividing line by sucking, along each dividing line, the wafer held through the protective tape.
