  • Patent number: 8884447
    Abstract: To increase the manufacturing yield of semiconductor devices by improving a joint failure of a bump electrode. In a semiconductor device in which a plurality of boding pads 4 formed on a front surface of a semiconductor chip 3 and a plurality of leads 2 are connected via a plurality of bump electrodes 5, respectively, the upper surface of the leads 2 is formed into a semi-glossy surface having a roughness a maximum height (Ry) of which is in a range greater than 0 ?m and not greater than 20 ?m (0 ?m<maximum height (Ry)?20 ?m), not into a planar surface (maximum height (Ry) =0).
    Type: Grant
