Abstract:
A method of producing a semiconductor device comprising a plurality of semiconductor substrates which are arranged adjacent to one another in a planar manner, at least one of the peripheral sides of each of the semiconductor substrates being formed by cutting, which comprises the steps of:forming the semiconductor substrates by cutting so that an opposite side of the semiconductor substrate to be adjacently arranged is formed by substantially vertical full-cutting to remove an unnecessary portion, and so that an end surface of the semiconductor substrate other than the opposite side has a groove merely formed by half-cutting between the semiconductor substrate and an unnecessary portion to leave the unnecessary portion;handling the semiconductor substrate by holding the left unnecessary portion;removing the left unnecessary portion by snapping off; andarranging the semiconductor substrates so as to be adjacent to one another while the full-cutting sides thereof are mutually opposed.
