Provided is a method suitable for efficiently manufacturing a semiconductor device while preventing warpage of the wafer laminate in manufacturing a semiconductor device in which semiconductor elements are multilayered through laminating wafers in which the semiconductor elements are fabricated. The method includes at least: preparing a plurality of first wafer laminates each having a laminate configuration including a first and second wafers each having an element forming surface and a back surface opposite from the element forming surface, the laminate configuration wherein the element forming surface sides of the first and second wafers are bonded to each other; thinning the first wafer of the first wafer laminate to form a first wafer laminate having the thinned first wafer; and bonding the thinned first wafer sides of two first wafer laminates having undergone the thinning to each other to form a second wafer laminate.
