Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of interconnect layers, the semiconductor wafer including: a plurality of chip-composing portions; a dicing region separating the chip-composing portions from each other; and a plurality of inter-chip interconnects formed in the dicing region and electrically connecting adjacent ones of the chip-composing portions; and forming semiconductor chips by dicing the dicing region so as to divide the chip-composing portions, wherein each of the inter-chip interconnects has a width of an intermediate portion narrower than widths of connection end portions connected to the adjacent ones of the chip-composing portions.
