Abstract

A resin membrane ( 8 ) covering a semiconductor device ( 5 ) and a dicing line ( 7 ) of a semiconductor substrate ( 1 ) is formed on a main surface of the semiconductor substrate ( 1 ). The resin membrane ( 8 ) around the first electrode ( 2 ) is removed and the resin membrane ( 8 ) on the second electrode ( 3,4 ) is removed to form a first contact hole ( 9 ) without removing the resin membrane ( 8 ) on the dicing line ( 7 ). A resin film ( 11 ) is applied to a top surface of the resin membrane ( 8 ) to form a hollow structure ( 12 ) around the first electrode ( 2 ). The resin film ( 11 ) is patterned to form a second contact hole ( 13 ) connected to the first contact hole ( 9 ) and a first opening ( 14 ) above the dicing line ( 7 ) simultaneously. After forming the first opening ( 14 ), the semiconductor substrate ( 1 ) is diced along the dicing line ( 7 ).
