A method of production of a semiconductor device able to utilize a conventional
production system for a resin board to thereby produce a wafer level package without
increasing the production cost, comprising electrolessly plating the electrode
terminals to cover the surfaces of the electrode terminals by a protective film
protecting the electrode terminals from laser beams; grinding the back side of
the semiconductor wafer to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor wafer before
or after forming the protective film; covering the entirety of the electrode terminal
forming surface and back side of the semiconductor wafer, having the electrode
terminals covered by a protective film and processed to reduce the thickness of
the semiconductor wafer, by a resin to form a laminate; and focusing a laser beam
toward the electrode terminal forming surface of the semiconductor wafer from outside
the laminate to form via holes with the protective film exposed at their bottom
surfaces, then filling the via holes by electroplating to form the conductor parts.
