  • Publication number: 20230411330
    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to the present embodiment includes an insulation member, a columnar electrode, a member, and an electrode pad. The insulation member has a first face. The columnar electrode penetrates the insulation member in a direction approximately perpendicular to the first face. The columnar electrode has a columnar electrode member and a first metal layer of at least one layer which covers an outer circumference of the columnar electrode member and which extends until becoming exposed from the first face. The member is provided on the first face and is arranged so as to overlap with at least a part of the first metal layer that is exposed from the first face as viewed from a direction approximately perpendicular to the first face. The electrode pad is provided on the first face so as to cover the member and is electrically connected to the columnar electrode member.
