PURPOSE: To improve the yield of manufacturing a semiconductor device by forming a conductive film on the second main surface which includes a hole, removing the conductive film and a substrate between elements to form grooves and forming an electrode layer on the conductive film, thereby obtaining the characteristics and the reliability.
CONSTITUTION: Electrodes 13, 14 are formed on the active region 12 of a plurality of elements formed on the first main surface of a compound semiconductor substrate 11. The first main surface of the substrate 11 is secured to a supporting plate. A hole is formed to reach the electrodes 13, 14 on the second main surface of the substrate 11. A conductive film 23 is formed on the second main surface which includes a hole. Grooves are formed by removing the film 23 between elements and the substrate 11. An electrode layer 25 is formed on the film 23.
