Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which a molded article having a semiconductor chip sealed with resin is covered with a shielding case, comprising: preparing a molded article bank in which a plurality of said molded articles are connected in parallel by a guide frame; preparing a shielding case bank in which a plurality of shielding cases are connected in parallel by a guide frame; overlaying the shielding case bank on the molded article bank in such a manner that the shielding cases each cover a corresponding one of the molded articles; and dividing the molded article bank covered with the shielding case bank into discrete articles, wherein the shielding cases are arranged in the shielding case bank only at a pitch of n (n: a positive integer of not less than two) times as large as a pitch at which the molded articles are arranged in the molded article bank, and the overlaying the shielding case bank on the molded article bank comprises putting n shielding case banks one on top of another in an overlapping manner such that the shielding cases of the n banks are arranged as a whole at a same pitch as the pitch of the molded articles in the molded article bank.
