Patent ID: 6995038

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: (a) preparing a semiconductor wafer including a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, the first main surface having a semiconductor device forming region and a peripheral region which surrounds the semiconductor device forming region; (b) preparing first and second dies which define a cavity; (c) holding the semiconductor wafer by the first die so that the first main surface is exposed; (d) placing a film member on the second die; (e) supplying a predetermined amount of resin to a predetermined region on a resin layout region of the film member; (f) heating the first die and the second die; (g) bringing the first die and the second die into contact with each other through the film member to form the cavity, thereby the first main surface and the resin are placed in the cavity; and (h) pressure-reducing the interior of the cavity and reducing the capacity of the cavity to cause the molten resin obtained by melting the resin to contact the first main surface, thereby forming an encapsulating portion on the first main surface.
