Patent ID: 7875530

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a plurality of first semiconductor integrated circuits and a plurality of second semiconductor integrated circuits arranged over a first substrate so that each of the second semiconductor integrated circuits is adjacent to one of the first semiconductor integrated circuits; attaching a second substrate so as to cover the first semiconductor integrated circuits and the second semiconductor integrated circuits; separating the first substrate and the second substrate from each other by etching and transferring the first semiconductor integrated circuits to the second substrate; attaching a third substrate so as to cover the second semiconductor integrated circuits remaining over the first substrate; separating the first substrate and the third substrate from each other and transferring the second semiconductor integrated circuits to the third substrate; dividing the second substrate in a direction parallel to a diagonal direction of the plurality of the first integrated circuits so as to divide the plurality of first semiconductor integrated circuits into separate pieces; and dividing the third substrate in a direction parallel to a diagonal direction of the plurality of the second integrated circuits so as to divide the plurality of second semiconductor integrated circuits into separate pieces.
