Abstract
In a plasma processing step that is used in the method of manufacturing the element chip for manufacturing a plurality of element chips by dividing a substrate having a plurality of element regions, the substrate is divided into the element chips by exposing the substrate to first plasma. Therefore, the element chips having a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface on which a plurality of convex portions are formed are held spaced from each other on a carrier. A protection film is formed on the side surface of the element chip by exposing the element chip to second plasma, at least convex portions formed on the side surface are covered by the protection film in the protection film formation, and creep-up of a conductive material to the side surface is suppressed in the mounting step.
