  • Publication number: 20120056318
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a semiconductor device including a semiconductor element, an electrode pad of the semiconductor element, a buffer coat film, and a micro-bump. The buffer coat film has an opening corresponding to the electrode pad. The micro-bump is electrically connected to the electrode pad through the opening. A contact area between the micro-bump and side surfaces of the opening is larger than a contact area between the micro-bump and a bottom surface of the opening.

  • Publication number: 20110049707
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes an electrode pad, a protective layer, a bump, and a resin layer. The electrode pad is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The protective layer includes a pad opening formed in the position of the electrode pad. The bump is formed in the pad opening and electrically connected to the electrode pad. The resin layer has a space provided between the resin layer and the bump and is formed on the protective layer via a metal layer. The resin layer is formed by using an adhesive resin material.
