Abstract

The invention is directed to providing a smaller semiconductor device having a light emitting element with a low manufacturing cost and a method of manufacturing the same. An adhesive layer 9 and conductive pastes 10 a, 10 b are selectively applied to a front surface of a semiconductor substrate 6 . Then, a light emitting element (a LED die 4 ) is formed on the semiconductor substrate 6 . A P type semiconductor layer 3 is connected to the conductive paste 10 a , and an N type semiconductor layer 2 is connected to the conductive paste 10 b . The LED die 4 is thus electrically connected to pad electrodes 8 a, 8 b through the conductive pastes 10 a, 10 b . Then, a protection layer 12 having openings in the positions corresponding to the pad electrodes 8 a, 8 b is formed on the semiconductor substrate 6 . Electrode connection layers 13 and conductive terminals 14 are then formed on the pad electrodes 8 a, 8 b, 8 c in the openings. The protection layer 12 , the semiconductor substrate 6 and so on are then cut along a predetermined dicing line DL and separated into individual dies.
