Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit or facilitate a scribing step using a laser beam and to improve the initial breakdown strength characteristic of a semiconductor device, by forming a thin groove at the center of a mesa groove after forming the mesa groove, protecting the thin groove with a photoresist film, and forming a glass protecting film. CONSTITUTION:After mesa etching, a thin groove 7 for breaking is formed at the central part of a mesa groove 6. The this groove is protected by photoresist, wax 8 or the like. Then a glass protecting film 9 is formed at the mesa groove 6. At this time, a scribing step using ordinary projection of laser light is omitted or made easy. Thereafter breaking can be performed. Therefore, problems such as deterioration in breakdown strength due to laser scribing, poor appearance due to deviation of a scribing position or deterioration in working efficiency are not present, and the excellent semiconductor device characterized by no fluctuation in characteristics and a high yield rate can be obtained.

The conventional semiconductor device described above has a glass protective film that protects the PN junction exposed in the mesa groove. Therefore, it is safe for K to make the glass protective film sufficiently thick. However, if the glass protective film is thick, it becomes difficult to scribe with a laser beam, so as a countermeasure,
The methods used are to increase the laser power to the maximum and scribe, or to slow down the laser speed and scribe. However, when scribing with a high laser power, there is a risk that the initial breakdown voltage characteristics of the semiconductor device will be significantly deteriorated, and when scribing with a low laser speed, the working efficiency is extremely reduced.
