Abstract
The inventive method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using irradiation with laser light to partition a substrate having semiconductor layers formed thereon, with gallium contained in at least one of the substrate and the semiconductor layers, wherein the method comprises: forming grooves to be used as boundaries between individual substrates by irradiating the substrate along partitioning locations with laser light, immersing the substrate into an acid solution, and partitioning the substrate into individual substrates along the boundaries where grooves are formed. In this manner, it provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which, during the partitioning of a gallium-containing semiconductor device substrate, deposits of gallium compounds adhered during laser irradiation are removed, partitioning surfaces are formed flat and uniform, and the incidence of electrode continuity failures and resin peeling is low.
