A manufacturing method for a semiconductor device, includes: preparing a
semiconductor wafer having an active surface and a rear surface; forming
a plurality of semiconductor regions, each of which having semiconductor
elements formed on the active surface of the semiconductor wafer; forming
cutting regions on the outer periphery of the semiconductor regions on
the active surface of the semiconductor wafer; forming, on the cutting
region, a first groove which does not penetrate the semiconductor wafer;
forming, on the rear surface of the semiconductor wafer, a second groove
which does not penetrate to the first groove in the position
corresponding to the cutting region; decreasing a thickness of the
semiconductor wafer, connecting the first groove and the second groove,
and dividing each of the semiconductor regions from the semiconductor
wafer by executing isotropic etching to the rear surface of the
semiconductor wafer; and obtaining a plurality of individual
semiconductor devices.
