Patent ID: 7993975

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming terminals on a wafer and across each of dicing lines along which the wafer is cut into a plurality of semiconductor chips; preparing a plurality of pre-cut substrates each including a substrate body capable of being cut along corresponding one of cutting lines into a pair of same structured substrate pieces, connection pads provided on a top surface of the substrate body, and external terminals formed on a bottom surface of the substrate body and connected to the connection pads; mounting the pre-cut substrates onto the wafer while the cutting lines of the pre-cut substrates match the dicing lines such that a first substrate and a second substrate of the pre-cut substrates are mounted on a first chip of the plurality of semiconductor chips, the first substrate overlaps a first dicing line of the first chip and the second substrate overlaps a second dicing line of the first chip; and simultaneously dicing the wafer and the pre-cut substrates along the dicing lines matching the cutting lines such that a first portion of the first substrate and a second portion of the second substrate remain mounted on the first chip.
