Abstract
To provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device capable of placing a larger number of alignment marks for lithography and PCM and at the same time, preventing information leakage from the PCM. In a portion of a first scribe region sandwiched between first semiconductor chip regions, a first region and a second region are placed in parallel to each other. The first region is equipped with at least one monitor selected from a first monitor for electrically evaluating at least either one of an active element (such as transistor) and a passive element (such as resistor or capacitor), a second monitor for dimensional control, and a third monitor for measuring film thickness. In the second region, an alignment mark for lithography is placed. In the cutting step, the first region is cut off.
