description There is provided a wafer processing method for reducing a thickness of a wafer. The wafer has a front side and a back side opposite to the front side. The wafer has a device area where a plurality of devices are formed on the front side and a peripheral marginal area including a curved peripheral edge. A protective layer for covering the plural devices are formed on the front side in the device area. The wafer processing method includes a plasma etching step of supplying an etching gas in a plasma condition to the front side of the wafer by using the protective layer as a mask, thereby removing the peripheral marginal area including the curved peripheral edge, a protective member attaching step of attaching a protective member to the front side of the wafer, and a grinding step of grinding the back side of the wafer.
