A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed in which a
metallic deposit is stably formed on the anode side with small variation
in film thickness, and plating is prevented on the cathode side without
carrying out any additional processing on the cathode side. The processed
anode side causes no interference in subsequent processing. Insulator
films are used to cover a scribe line, as well as a field plate or an
open electrode provided on a surface of a silicon substrate before Ni
electroless plating of an aluminum electrode is performed to form a
metallic deposit on the electrode.
