Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device including a rectangular semiconductor chip having long edges and short edges in a plan view, the semiconductor chip comprising: (a) a rectangular semiconductor substrate having a pair of short edges and a pair of long edges; (b) a semiconductor element formed over the semiconductor substrate; (c) a first wiring formed over the semiconductor element; (d) a first insulating film formed over the semiconductor substrate so as to cover the semiconductor element and the first wiring; (e) a plurality of pads formed over the first insulating film; (f) a second insulating film having respective portions formed over the pads and a plurality of openings which reach corresponding pads; and (g) a plurality of rectangular bump electrodes which are formed over the second insulating film and electrically coupled to the pads by way of corresponding openings, wherein, in a same layer as the pads, a second wiring comprised of a power line or a signal line and first dummy patterns different from the second wiring are formed, wherein the bump electrodes are arranged in line at least in a long edge direction of the semiconductor chip, with long edges of the bump electrodes being parallel to a short edge direction of the semiconductor chip, wherein each of the bump electrodes has an overlap region which overlaps a corresponding pad in the plan view and a non-overlap region which does not overlap the corresponding pad in the plan view, wherein the second wiring extends in the long edge direction of the semiconductor chip and has portions disposed under the non-overlap regions of the bump electrodes, wherein each of the first dummy patterns is formed, respectively, in an area which does not overlap any of the bump electrodes in the plan view and is between the non-overlap regions of adjacent bump electrodes in the plan view, wherein the first dummy patterns are rectangular in the plan view, and wherein, for each said first dummy pattern, each of a width and a length is less than a width of the second wiring in the plan view, a length of the second wiring being longer than the width of the second wiring.
