Patent number: 6780677Abstract: An electronic device comprising a semiconductor chip which is fixed to the mounting face of a wiring board through an adhesive and in which external terminals are electrically connected with electrode pads of the wiring board through bump electrodes. Recesses are formed in the electrode pads, and in the recesses the electrode pads and the bump electrodes are connected. The electrode pads are formed over the surface of a soft layer, and the recesses are formed by elastic deformation of the electrode pads and the soft layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Hokkai Semiconductor, Ltd.Inventors: Satoshi Imasu, Ikuo Yoshida, Tetsuya Hayashida, Akira Yamagiwa, Shinobu Takeura
