Abstract

The surface of the resin on a semiconductor device is subjected to a marking by a pulsed laser having an energy density of 3 to 60 J/cm.sup.2 and a pulse width of 0.1 ms or less. By applying the laser beam to the surface a resin encapsulation, the resin can be instantaneously burnt and vaporized, as a result of which, the quantity of the cinders from burning of the resin at the time of the laser-marking is reduced.
