1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a plurality of semiconductor chips formed by cutting a wafer using a dicing saw, each chip having opposed obverse and reverse major surfaces bounded by a par of opposed first sides and a pair of opposed second sides respectively, the second sides of the obverse surface being longer than the second sides of the reverse surface, the obverse surface of each chip being for receiving incident radiation, the plurality of semiconductor chips being disposed in a linear arrangement with the obverse surfaces thereof being coplanar with one another and adjacent chips being in contact with each other at the first sides of the obverse surfaces, the adjacent first sides of the reverse surfaces of adjacent chips being spaced apart by a distance of at least 10 μ
m so as to form tapered gaps between the adjacent chips, and a circuit formed on the obverse surface of each semiconductor chip.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using inclined stage of a dicing saw in order to cut the semiconductor substrate obliquely with respect to the depthwise direction. When a plurality of semiconductor chips diced obliquely are connected, a degree of connecting accuracy is increased, and it is possible to realize a contact-type image sensor of high resolving power and high accuracy.

10. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a plurality of semiconductor chips formed by cutting a wafer using a dicing saw, each semiconductor chip having a larger obverse rectangular shaped surface for receiving incident radiation and having a circuit formed thereon and a smaller reverse rectangular shaped surface, the obverse and reverse surfaces being bounded by a pair of opposed first sides and a pair of opposed second sides respectively, each semiconductor chip having a pair of opposing trapezoid shaped side surfaces having a long side defined by a respective second side of the obverse surface and a short side defined by a respective second side of the reverse surface, the plurality of semiconductor chips being arranged in a line so that the first sides of the obverse surfaces of adjacent chips are in direct contact with each other and the first sides of the reverse surfaces of adjacent chips are separated from each other by a distance so as to form a tapered gap between adjacent chips for accommodating dust particles and chippings resulting from the dice saw cutting of the wafer and to enable uniform spacing between the plurality of chips.
