A method and apparatus of fabricating a semiconductor device by back
grinding and dicing is disclosed. The method may include at least
adhering a protection tape for back grinding on a front surface of a
semiconductor wafer, back grinding a rear surface of the semiconductor
wafer while the protection tape faces downward, loading the semiconductor
wafer to dicing equipment when the front surface having the protection
tape faces downward, detecting a dicing position formed on the front
surface of the semiconductor wafer, and dicing the semiconductor wafer
with the protection tape adhering thereon into individual semiconductor
chips in accordance with the detected dicing position. The dicing
equipment may have a transparent aligning part for aligning the
semiconductor wafer and a chuck part for supporting the semiconductor
wafer.
