Abstract

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a semiconductor feature on a first surface of a substrate; forming a first insulating film on the semiconductor feature; forming a first wiring layer on the first insulating film; forming a second insulating film on the first wiring layer; forming a second wiring layer on the second insulating film; forming a first electrode on the second wiring layer; providing a protective adhesive that covers the first electrode and the second wiring layer; bonding a supporting substrate onto the protective adhesive; polishing a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface; removing the supporting substrate from the protective adhesive; and removing at least a portion of the protective adhesive to expose the first electrode.

Claims (49)

forming a first electrode on the second wiring layer;

providing a protective adhesive that covers the first electrode and the second wiring layer;

bonding a supporting substrate to the protective adhesive;

polishing a second surface of the substrate opposite to the first surface;

removing the supporting substrate from the protective adhesive; and

removing at least a portion of the protective adhesive to expose the first electrode.

2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a second electrode penetrating through the substrate to connect the semiconductor feature after polishing the second surface of the substrate.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the second electrode includes a through portion that penetrates through the substrate and a connection portion that protrudes the second surface of the substrate.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a melting point of the through portion is less than a melting point of the connection portion.

5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first insulating film and the second insulating film are made of an insulating material having photosensitivity, and
