Abstract:
A semiconductor device having an electrode formation surface with a step extending from an upper part of the electrode formation surface to a lower part of the electrode formation surface, and an interconnection pattern formed on the electrode formation surface, crossing the step, wherein:the step includes at least a first part extending from the upper part of the electrode formation surface to the lower part of the electrode formation surface, a second part extending from the upper part of the electrode formation surface to the lower part of the electrode formation surface, and a third part extending from the upper part of the electrode formation surface to the lower part of the electrode formation surface, the first part being oriented in a first direction at an edge of the interconnection pattern, the second part being oriented in a second direction at another edge of the interconnection pattern, the third part being covered by the interconnection pattern and oriented in a third direction different from said first direction and said second direction, as seen looking from said upper part of the electrode formation surface to said lower part of the electrode formation surface.
