The processing steps include implementing the block molding with resin for multiple semiconductor chips mounted on a wiring substrate and thereafter dicing the wiring substrate into individual resin-molded semiconductor devices, with the substrate dicing step being preceded by a step of appending an address information pattern to each of the resin-molded semiconductor devices.
