Method for manufacturing semiconductor devices

According to one embodiment, a method is disclosed for manufacturing a semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip having electrode pads formed on a first major surface and a bonding layer provided on a second major surface, and a substrate having the semiconductor chip mounted on the substrate. The manufacturing method can include applying a fillet-forming material to a portion contacting an outer edge of the second major surface of the semiconductor chip on a front face of the substrate. The method can include bonding the second major surface of the semiconductor chip to the substrate via the bonding layer.
