Abstract: Prepared in advance is a substrate formed of metallic material where slits are formed between mounting regions. Oxide films are generated all over the substrate including end faces of the substrate. Exposed are only lateral faces corresponding to the cross sections cut when tie bars are cut. This structure and the fabrication method minimize the area of cutting faces in the metallic material.

Abstract: An electrode for a semiconductor device is formed on the mounting surface (particularly, the outer periphery thereof) of a semiconductor substrate in a semiconductor module. In order to secure a large gap between the electrodes, an insulating layer is formed on the electrode. Also formed are a plurality of bumps penetrating the insulating layer and connected to the electrode, and a rewiring pattern integrally formed with the bumps. The rewiring pattern includes a bump area and a wiring area extending contiguously with the bump area. The insulating layer is formed to have a concave upper surface in an interval between the bumps, and the wiring area of the rewiring pattern is formed to fit that upper surface. The wiring area of the rewiring pattern is formed to be depressed toward the semiconductor substrate in relation to the bump area of the rewiring pattern.

Abstract: It is an object to increase the number of rewriting timing permitted for a split-gate-type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. Ends S of floating gate 4 are disposed in inclined portions of LOCOS oxide films 2A and 2B so as to sharpen projections of the floating gate to have an angle B.
