Abstract
A semiconductor device having a thinned semiconductor element that can be easily handled is manufactured with a method of manufacturing. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element and a bumper member bonded, as a reinforcing member, to a back surface opposite to an electrode-formed surface of the semiconductor element with an adhesive. The adhesive has a low elastic modulus and easily expands and contracts after bonding, and bonds the semiconductor element to the bumper member while allowing the semiconductor element to be deformed. Thus, the semiconductor device can be easily handled, and the semiconductor element can be deformed in response to the deformation of a substrate after being mounted. In addition, a thermal stress in a heat cycle can be alleviated effectively.
