Abstract: In this manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, after a sealing film is applied over an entire surface of a semiconductor wafer and hardened, a second groove for forming a side-section protective film is formed in the sealing film and on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer. In other words, the sealing film is formed in a state where a groove that causes strength reduction has not been formed on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer. Since the second groove is formed on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer after the sealing film is formed, the semiconductor wafer is less likely to warp when the sealing film, made of liquid resin, is hardened.
