A semiconductor chip having a thickness of 130 micrometers or less includes a mechanically ground bottom surface corresponding to a central circuit area, and a polished bottom surface corresponding to a peripheral scribe area. The mechanically ground bottom surface prevents heavy metals attached onto the bottom surface of the wafer from diffusing toward the source/drain regions of the semiconductor substrate and thereby from degrading the transistor characteristics.
