Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Reading reliability of a code formed in a semiconductor device is improved. A manufacturing method of semiconductor devices according to one embodiment includes a step of forming a sealing body MR in a plurality of device regions DVP with a code (first identification information) MK 3 being formed outside the device regions DVP of a wiring substrate. Also, the manufacturing method of semiconductor devices according to one embodiment includes a step of, after forming the sealing body MR, reading the code MK 3 and affixing another code (second identification information) to the sealing body MR. Further, before the step of forming the sealing body MR, a dam part DM is formed between a marking region MKR in which the code MK 3 is formed and the device regions DVP.
