Abstract

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing semiconductor device. The method includes providing a semiconductor wafer having a main surface; defining a chip forming region which includes chip regions defined by scribe lines, and a peripheral region which surrounds the chip forming region, on the main surface; forming circuit elements and electrode pads connected to the circuit elements on the chip areas; forming an insulating film, which exposes respective portions of the electrode pads, on the main surface; forming protruded electrodes on the insulating film provided in the chip areas so that the protruded electrodes are arranged at predetermined intervals in the chip area; forming an encapsulating material, which exposes top faces of the protruded electrodes, on the insulating film; and cutting the semiconductor wafer along the scribe lines.
