Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor chip, on the surface of which are formed integrated circuitry and four or more sensor elements, electrically connected thereto; a pad electrode, formed on the surface side of said semiconductor chip, and electrically connected to at least said integrated circuitry; an electrode portion, positioned on the surface side of said semiconductor chip adapted for electrically connecting said semiconductor chip to external circuitry; a wiring portion, electrically connecting said pad electrode to said electrode portion; and, an insulating portion, formed from electrically insulating material, which covers the surface of said semiconductor chip and seals said sensor elements, wiring portion, and electrode portion, in a state which exposes, at least, said electrode portion on the surface side of said semiconductor chip; and wherein said electrode portion is placed in a position which does not overlap with said sensor elements in the thickness direction of said semiconductor chip and said four sensor elements are arranged so that each is parallel to a respective side of the semiconductor device.
