Abstract:
1. A fabrication process of a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a conductive layer on a substrate; forming an insulating film on the conductive layer; forming an opening through the insulating film; and forming a metal film on the insulating film and in the opening, so as to form a bonding pad, wherein the forming a conductive layer includes forming a plurality of wires substantially coplanar with said conductive layer; one of the plurality of wires is connected to the bonding pad; the forming an insulating film on the conductive layer includes forming a protective film having an insulating property formed between remaining ones of the plurality of wires and the bonding pad; and in the forming a protective film, the protective film is formed so that the protective film is bridged between adjacent ones of said remaining ones of the plurality of wires at least in a region overlapping with the bonding pad, so that at least one void is formed in the protective film between the adjacent ones of said remaining ones of the plurality of wires.
