In a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, a semiconductor
substrate having a plurality of semiconductor chips formed on one of
principal surfaces of the substrate is cut into the plurality of
semiconductor chips through dicing. A first cutting process is formed on
one of the principal surfaces of the substrate to produce two cutting
grooves between two neighboring ones of the plurality of semiconductor
chips, each cutting groove being adjacent to one of the neighboring ones
of the plurality of semiconductor chips. A second cutting process is
performed on the other of the principal surfaces of the substrate to
produce a cutting groove overlapping the two cutting grooves produced by
the first cutting process.
