Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a wiring substrate; a wiring electrode; a semiconductor chip; a connecting member; a resin encapsulant; and a mark member. The wiring electrode is formed on the wiring substrate. The semiconductor chip is mounted on the wiring substrate. An electrode pad formed on the semiconductor chip and the wiring electrode are electrically connected to each other with the connecting member. The semiconductor chip, the wiring electrode, and the connecting member, for example, are molded with the resin encapsulant on the upper surface of the wiring substrate. The mark member is embedded in the upper surface of the resin encapsulant. The mark member, which is transferred from a transfer sheet in a single process step, is highly visible and can be formed efficiently.
