Abstract

In a semiconductor chip A wherein an element layer 2 having transistors and the like is formed on the front face, and the back face is joined to an underlying member, such as a package substrate, the thickness T is made 100 μm or less, and thereafter, a gettering layer 3 is formed on the back face of the semiconductor chip A. The gettering layer 3 is formed, for example, by polishing the back face of said semiconductor chip A using a polishing machine. Thereby, the yield of devices can be improved in the step for assembling the package.
