Method of mounting a plurality of semiconductor devices in corresponding supporters

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device mountable in a module supporter. According to the present invention, a semiconductor substrate has a plurality of semiconductor modules, where each semiconductor module has a semiconductor chip covered with a protective material, such as resin, on a first surface and a connector formed on a second surface which is electrically connected to the semiconductor chip. An adhesive layer is applied to the first surface of the substrate. The adhesive layer has a plurality of opening portions arranged to positionally correspond to the plurality of semiconductor modules on the substrate. The substrate and the adhesive layer are cut into individual substrates each having the semiconductor chip so that each semiconductor module has the adhesive layer on a periphery of the protective material. Individual substrates containing a semiconductor module are bonded to the supporter having a concave portion for holding the semiconductor module.
