ABSTRACT:
A resist pattern is formed at an outermost peripheral end of the surface of a wafer. Thereafter, the back of the wafer is back-etched using chemicals to thin the wafer. A passivation film is left behind only at scribe lines for separating semiconductor chips located at the outermost peripheral end of the wafer surface and thereafter the wafer is back-etched.
