US Patent 11183415 Adhesive containing polydimethyl siloxane

An adhesive can be easily peeled off after polishing the back face of a wafer, which has heat resistance and can be easily washed off. An adhesive for peelably adhering between a support and a circuit-bearing face of a wafer and thereby processing a back face of the wafer, a peeling face upon peeling becomes selectable according to heating from the support side or wafer side when the adhesive is cured. The adhesive includes a component (A) curing by hydrosilylation reaction and a component (B) containing a polydimethylsiloxane. A peeling method including forming an adhesion layer by applying the adhesive to a surface of a first substrate, bonding a surface of a second substrate to the adhesion layer, curing the adhesion layer by heating from the first substrate side to form a laminate, processing the laminate, and peeling off between the first substrate and the adhesion layer.
