METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE IN WHICH BOTTOM SURFACE AND SIDE SURFACE OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE ARE COVERED WITH RESIN PROTECTIVE FILM

摘要

First, a trench is formed in parts of a semiconductor wafer, a sealing film and other elements corresponding to a dicing street and both sides thereof. In this state, the semiconductor wafer is separated into silicon substrates by the formation of the trench. Then, a resin protective film is formed on the bottom surface of each silicon substrate including the inner part of the trench. In this case, the semiconductor wafer is separated into the silicon substrates. However, a support plate is affixed to the upper surfaces of the columnar electrode and the sealing film via an adhesive layer. Therefore, when the resin protective film is formed, it is possible to prevent the entire workpiece including the separated silicon substrates from being easily warped.
