Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a semiconductor chip having a first surface, and a second surface, opposite to the first surface; an electrode pad formed on the first surface; a terminal having terminal first and second end portions, the terminal being formed on the first surface and having a substantially constant terminal diameter from the terminal first end portion to the terminal second end portion, the terminal first end portion being electrically connected to the electrode pad; a resin layer formed on the first surface of the semiconductor chip and being in contact with a sidewall surface of the terminal first end portion, wherein a thickness of the resin layer is substantially equivalent to a height of the terminal; an opening in the resin layer, the opening having an opening first end portion and an opening second end portion, the terminal first end portion in the opening first end portion, the terminal second end portion in the opening second end portion, wherein the opening first end portion has a first diameter and the opening second end portion has a second diameter greater than the first diameter, so that the terminal second end portion is spaced from a side surface of the opening second end portion; and an electrode connected with both a top surface, and the sidewall surface of the second end portion of the terminal.
