1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising:
sticking a first protective tape on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate;
polishing a second surface of the semiconductor substrate faced to the first surface;
sticking a second protective tape on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate;
removing the first protective tape;
dicing the semiconductor substrate from the first surface side to separate the semiconductor substrate to a plurality of semiconductor chips;
sticking a third protective tape on first surfaces of a plurality of the semiconductor chips;
removing the second protective tape; and
etching cutting surfaces of the semiconductor chips and second surfaces of the semiconductor chips by dry etching,
wherein a surface roughness Rs of the second surface of the semiconductor chips formed by dry etching is 0.05 μm or more and 0.4 μm or less.
