Abstract:
Provided is a low cost semiconductor device in which occurrence of chipping and a crack during dicing is suppressed. A nitride layer (silicon nitride layer)  23  is formed on an oxide layer  22 . In FIG.  1 , a thick organic layer  24  is formed as a top layer. The semiconductor device  1  is characterized by its structure on a side of its end portion. In FIG.  1 , the end portion E of the semiconductor device  1  is formed by cutting with a blade in the vertical direction during dicing. An edge E 1  of both the oxide layer  22  and the nitride layer is located apart from an edge of a semiconductor substrate  10 . An edge E 2  of the organic layer  24  on the nitride layer  23  is located inside the edge E 1  of the nitride layer  23  (on a side more distant from the edge E).

Claim (Index 8):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 7 ,\n wherein the trenches are formed to be smaller in both width and depth with increasing distance from the edge of the silicon nitride layer in the direction toward the side opposite to the side where the end portion of the semiconductor substrate is located.
