     Electronic Device 
     First, a usage example of a semiconductor device according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   .  FIG.  1    is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of an electronic device including a semiconductor device according to the present embodiment. Further,  FIG.  2    is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of a circuit that the electronic device shown in  FIG.  1    has. Incidentally, in  FIG.  1   , a signal transmission path SGP shown in  FIG.  2    is schematically illustrated by thick lines in order to expressly indicate that a semiconductor device PKG 1  and a semiconductor device PKG 2  are electrically connected to each other. 
     An electronic device (electronic equipment) EDV 1  shown in  FIG.  1    includes a wiring substrate (mother board, mounting substrate) MB 1 , and semiconductor devices PKG 1 , PKG 2  mounted on the wiring substrate MB 1 . The semiconductor devices PKG 1  PKG 2  are electrically connected to each other via signal transmission paths SGT that are formed on the wiring substrate MB 1 . A signal transmitted via the signal transmission paths SGP includes a signal SGT outputted from the semiconductor device PKG 1 , and a signal SGR inputted to the semiconductor device PKG 1 . Further, the signal transmission path SGP includes a signal transmission path SGPT transmitting the signal SGT, and a signal transmission path SGPR transmitting the signal SGR. 
     In an example shown in  FIG.  1   , the signal SGT is outputted from the semiconductor device PKG 1 , and is inputted into the semiconductor device PKG 2 . Further, the signal SGR is outputted from the semiconductor device PKG 2 , and is inputted to the semiconductor device PKG 1 . However, an output destination of the signal SGT and an output source of the signal SGR are not limited to the example shown in  FIG.  1   , and have various modification examples. Since the semiconductor devices PKG 1 , PKG 2  shown in  FIG.  1    have the same structure, the semiconductor device PKG 1  will be typically described below. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , the electronic device EDV 1  has a plurality of signal transmission paths SGP. The signal transmission path SGP is a high-speed transmission path (high-speed signal transmission path) in which signals are transmitted at a transmission rate of, for example, 5 Gbps (Gigabit per second) or higher. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, described as an example of the signal transmission path SGP which is a high-speed transmission path will be a transmission path having a so-called single-ended structure in which a different signal is transmitted to each of the plurality of signal transmission paths SGP. However, a technique described below can be applied also to a transmission path having a differential system in which one signal is transmitted via a pair of signal transmission paths constituting a differential pair. 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , a semiconductor chip (semiconductor component, electronic component) CHP 1 , which the semiconductor device PKG 1  has, includes a plurality of electrodes (electrode terminals). The plurality of electrodes, which the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has, include signal electrodes (signal electrode terminals) Tx through which a signal SGT (see  FIG.  1   ) serving as an output signal (transmission signal) is transmitted. Further, the plurality of electrodes, which the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has, include signal electrodes (signal electrode terminals) Rx through which a signal SGR (see  FIG.  1   ) serving as an input signal (received signal) is transmitted. Incidentally, hereinafter, the signal electrode Tx or signal electrode Rx may be collectively referred to as a signal electrode Sx. 
       FIG.  2    typically shows two output signal transmission paths SGPT and two input signal transmission paths SGPR among the plurality of signal transmission paths SGP that the semiconductor device PKG 1  has. However, the number of signal transmission paths SGP, which the semiconductor device PKG 1  has, is larger than the number of those shown in  FIG.  2   . 
     Further, the plurality of electrodes, which the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has, include electrodes (reference potential electrode, first potential electrode) Vs supplying a reference potential (first potential) VSS and electrodes (power supply potential electrode, second potential electrode) Vd supplying a power supply potential (second voltage) VDD. The power supply potential VDD is supplied via the electrode Vd to the semiconductor chip CHP 1  (specifically, circuit that the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has). Furthermore, the reference potential VSS is supplied via the electrodes Vs to the semiconductor chip CHP 1  (specifically, circuit that the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has). At least some of the plurality of circuits, which the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has, are driven by a drive voltage generated by a potential difference between the power supply potential VDD and the reference potential VSS. The reference potential VSS is, for example, a ground potential, and the power supply potential VDD is higher than the reference potential VSS. 
     Semiconductor Device 
     Taking the semiconductor device PKG 1  shown in  FIG.  1    as an example, a structural example of a signal transmission path in the semiconductor device PKG 1  will be described. First, an outline of the semiconductor device PKG 1  will be described, and then a structure of the signal transmission path will be described.  FIG.  3    is a top view of one of the two semiconductor devices shown in  FIG.  1   .  FIG.  4    is a bottom view of the semiconductor device shown in  FIG.  3   . Further,  FIG.  5    is a sectional view taken along line A-A of  FIG.  3   . Furthermore,  FIG.  6    is a plan view of an electrode arranging surface of the semiconductor chip shown in  FIG.  5   . 
     The semiconductor device PKG 1  of the present embodiment shown in  FIG.  3    includes a wiring substrate SUB 1  and a semiconductor chip CHP 1  mounted on the wiring board SUB 1 . As shown in  FIG.  5   , the wiring substrate SUB 1  has a top surface (face, main surface, chip mounting surface, first main surface)  2   t  on which the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is mounted, and a bottom surface (face, main surface, mounting surface, second main surface)  2   b  opposite to the top surface  2   t.  Further, the wiring substrate SUB 1  has a plurality of side surfaces  2   s  (see  FIGS.  3  and  4   ) that intersect with respective outer peripheries of the top surface  2   t  and the bottom surface  2   b.  In a case of the present embodiment, the top surface  2   t  (see  FIG.  3   ) and the bottom surface  2   b  (see  FIG.  4   ) of the wiring substrate SUB 1  are each quadrangle. 
     The wiring substrate SUB 1  is an interposer (relay substrate) that electrically connects the semiconductor chip CHP 1  mounted on the top surface  2   t  and the wiring substrate MB 1  (see  FIG.  1   ) which is a motherboard (mounting substrate). The wiring substrate SUB 1  has a plurality of wiring layers (eight layers in an example shown in  FIG.  5   ) WL 1 , WL 2 , WL 3 , WL 4 , WL 5 , WL 6 , WL 7 , and WL 8  for electrically connecting a terminal (pad  2 PD) on a top surface  2   t  side which is the chip mounting surface and a terminal (land  2 LD) on a bottom surface  2   b  side which is the mounting surface. Each wiring layer is between the top surface  2   t  and the bottom surface  2   b.  Each wiring layer has a conductor pattern such as a wiring which is a path for supplying an electric signal or electric power. Further, an insulating film  2   e  is arranged between the wiring layers. The respective wiring layers are electrically connected to each other through via-wirings  2   v,  which are interlayer conductive paths penetrating the insulating film  2   e,  or through-hole wirings  2 THW. 
     In addition, a wiring layer WL 1 , which is arranged on the uppermost surface  2   t  side among the plurality of wiring layers, is covered with an insulating film (solder resist film) SR 1 . A plurality of pads  2 PD are formed on the wiring layer WL 1 . Further, a wiring layer WL 8 , which is provided with a plurality of lands  2 LD, is provided on the bottom surface  2   b  side of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . The wiring layer WL 8  is covered with an insulating film SR 2  which is a solder resist film. Each of the plurality of pads  2 PD provided on the wiring layer WL 1  and the plurality of lands  2 LD provided on the wiring layer WL 8  are electrically connected through conductor patterns (wiring  2   d  and conductor pattern  2 CP), via-wirings  2   v,  and through-hole wirings  2 THW formed on each wiring layer which the wiring substrate SUB 1  has. 
     Incidentally, in  FIG.  5   , a plurality of via-wirings  2   v,  which are connected to the signal pads SxP and electrically connect the respective wiring layers, are laminated in order to demonstrate through one figure that the signal pad SxP is connected to the land  2 LD and a solder ball SB via the wiring  2   d,  the plurality of via-wirings  2   v,  and the through-hole wiring  2 THW. However, each layout of the plurality of via-wirings  2   v  and the conductor pattern  2 CP is not limited to an example shown in  FIG.  5   , and has various modification examples. 
     Further, the wiring substrate SUB 1  is formed by, for example, laminating each of a plurality of wiring layers with a build-up method on a top surface  2 Ct and a bottom surface  2 Cb of an insulating layer (core material, core insulating layer)  2 CR made of a prepreg in which glass fibers are impregnated with a resin. Furthermore, the wiring layer WL 4  on a top surface  2 Ct side and the wiring layer WL 5  on a bottom surface  2 Cb side of the insulating layer  2 CR are electrically connected through the plurality of through-hole wiring  2 THWs, which are embedded in a plurality of through-holes provided so as to penetrate from one of the top surface  2 Ct and the bottom surface  2 Cb to the other. 
     A plurality of pads (terminals, bonding pads, semiconductor chip connecting lands)  2 PD electrically connected to the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is formed on the wiring layer WL 1  on a top surface  2   t  side of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . Further, a plurality of lands  2 LDs, which are external input/output terminals of the semiconductor device PKG 1 , are formed on the wiring layer WL 8  lying on a bottom surface  2   b  side of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . The plurality of pads  2 PD and the plurality of lands  2 LD are electrically connected to each other through the wiring  2   d,  the via-wiring  2   v,  and the through-hole wiring  2 THW formed on the wiring substrate SUB 1 . Details of a connection structure of the pad  2 PD and the wiring layer WL 2  will be described later. 
     In an example shown in  FIG.  5   , the wiring substrate SUB 1  shows a wiring substrate in which a plurality of wiring layers is laminated on each of the top surface  2 Ct side and the bottom surface  2 Cb side of the insulating layer  2 CR which is a core material. However, used as a modification example of  FIG.  5    may be a so-called careless substrate which does not have an insulating layer  2 CR made of a hard material such as a prepreg material and is formed by laminating an insulating film  2   e  and a conductor pattern such as a wiring  2   d  in order. When the coreless substrate is used, the through-hole wiring  2 THW is not formed and each wiring layer is electrically connected through the via-wiring  2   v.  Further,  FIG.  5    illustratively shows the wiring substrate SUB 1  having eight wiring layers. However, as a modification example, for example, a wiring substrate, which has nine layers or more or seven layers or less, may be used. 
     Further, in the example shown in  FIG.  5   , a solder ball (solder material, external terminal, electrode, external electrode) SB is connected to each of the plurality of lands  2 LD. When the semiconductor device PKG 1  is mounted on the wiring substrate MB 1  shown in  FIG  1   , the solder ball SB is a conductive member that electrically connects a plurality of terminals (not shown) on the wiring board MB 1  side and the plurality of lands  2 LD. The solder ball SB is, for example, a Sn—Pb solder material containing lead (Pb) or a solder material made of so-called lead-free solder that does not substantially contain Pb. Examples of lead-free solder include, for example, tin (Sn) only, tin-bismuth (Sn—Bi), tin-copper-silver (Sn—Cu—Ag), tin-copper (Sn—Cu), and the like. Here, the lead-free solder means that a contented amount of lead (Pb) is 0.1 wt % or less, and this contented amount is defined as a standard of a RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) instruction. 
     As shown in  FIG.  4   , a plurality of solder balls SB are arranged in a matrix (array pattern, matrix pattern). Further, although being omitted in  FIG.  4   , the plurality of lands  2 LDs (see  FIG.  5   ) to which the plurality of solder balls SB is joined are also arranged in a matrix. In this way, a semiconductor device, in which a plurality of external terminals (solder balls SB, lands  2 LD) is arranged in a matrix on the mounting surface side of the wiring substrate SUB 1 , is called an area-array type semiconductor device. The area-array type semiconductor device can effectively use the mounting surface (bottom surface  2   b ) side of the wiring substrate SUB 1  as an arranging space of an external terminal(s), thereby making it possible to preferably suppress an increase in a mounting area of the semiconductor device even if the number of external terminals increases. The semiconductor device in which the number of external terminals increases with higher functionality and higher integration can be mounted in a space saving. 
     The semiconductor device PKG 1  has a semiconductor chip CHP 1  that is mounted on the wiring substrate SUB 1 . As shown in  FIG.  5   , each semiconductor chip CHP 1  has a front surface (main surface, top surface)  3   t  and a back surface (main surface, bottom surface)  3   b  opposite the front surface. Further, the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has a plurality of side surfaces  3   s  that intersect with the front surface  3   t  and the back surface  3   b.  In a plan view as shown in  FIG.  3   , the semiconductor chip CHP 1  has an outer shape of a quadrangular that has a smaller flat area than the wiring substrate SUB 1 . In an example shown in  FIG.  3   , the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is mounted in a central region of the top surface  2   t  of the wiring substrate SUB 1  (region including a center of the top surface  2   t ), and each of the four side surfaces  3   s  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  extends along each of the four side surfaces  2   s  of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . 
     As shown in  FIG.  6   , the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  includes: a side  3   s   1 ; a side  3   s   2  opposite to the side  3   s   1 ; a side  3   s   3  intersecting with the side  3   s   1  and the side  3   s   2 ; and a side  3   s   4  opposite to the side  3   s   3 . A plurality of electrodes (pads, electrode terminals)  3 PD are arranged on a front surface  3   t  side of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . The plurality of electrodes  3 PD are exposed from an insulating film (passivation film, protective insulating film)  3 PF that covers most of the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP on the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP The plurality of electrodes  3 PD are arranged on the front surface  3   t.  in a plurality of rows from the outermost circumference closest to the outer periphery of the front surface  3   t  toward a center of the front surface  3   t.  For example, if it is assumed that the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is set as a reference, the plurality of electrodes  3 PD include: a plurality of first-row electrodes  3 PL 1  closest to the side  3   s   1 ; a plurality of second-row electrodes  3 PL 2  closest to the side  3   s   1  and next to the first-row electrodes  3 PL 1 ; a plurality of third-row electrodes  3 PL 3  closest to the side  3   s   1  and next to the second-row electrodes  3 PL 2 ; a plurality of fourth-row electrodes  3 PL 4  closest to the side  3   s   1  and next to the third-row electrodes  3 PL 3 ; a plurality of fifth-row electrodes  3 PL 5  closest to the side  3   s   1  and next to the fourth-row electrodes  3 PL 4 ; and a plurality of sixth-row electrodes  3 PL 6  closest to the side  3   s   1  and next to the fifth-row electrodes  3 PL 5 . 
     In the present embodiment, a plurality of electrodes  3 PD are arranged in a matrix (matrix pattern or array pattern) on the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . By arranging the plurality of electrodes  3 PD of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  in a matrix, the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  can be effectively used as an electrode arranging space, so that even if the number of electrodes of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  increases, an increase in a flat area can be preferably suppressed. In an example shown in  FIG.  6   , the plurality of electrodes  3 PD are arranged in a houndstooth pattern. That is, each of the plurality of first-row electrodes  3 PL 1  and the plurality of second-row electrodes  3 PL 2  is arranged (arrayed) long an X direction which is an extending direction of the side  3   s   1 . In a Y direction orthogonal to the X direction, the plurality of second-row electrodes  3 PL 2  are not arranged linearly with the plurality of first-row electrodes  3 PL 1 , and are arrayed so as to be shifted between the first-row electrodes  3 PL 1  adjacent to each other. 
     Further, in the example shown in  FIG.  5   , the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is mounted on the wiring substrate SUB 1  in a state where the front surface  3   t  opposes the top surface  2   t  of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . Such a mounting method is called a face-down mounting method or a flip-chip connecting method. 
     Although omitted in the figure, a plurality of semiconductor elements (circuit elements) is formed on a main surface (specifically, a semiconductor-element forming region provided on an element forming surface of the semiconductor substrate which is a base material of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 ) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . The plurality of electrodes  3 PD is electrically connected to the plurality of semiconductor elements through a wiring (omitted in the figure) respectively, that is formed on a wiring layer arranged in an interior part (specifically, between the front surface  3   t  and the not-shown semiconductor-element forming region) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . 
     The semiconductor chip CHP 1  (specifically, the base material of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 ) is made of, for example, silicon (Si). Further, an insulating film  3 PF (see  FIG.  6   ) that covers the base material and the wiring of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is formed on the front surface  3   t,  and each part of the plurality of electrodes  3 PD is exposed from the insulating film in an opening that is formed in the insulating film  3 PF. Further, each of the plurality of electrodes  3 PD is made of metal and, in the present embodiment, is made of, for example, aluminum (Al). 
     As shown in  FIG.  5   , a protrusion electrode  3 BP is connected to each of the plurality of electrodes  3 PD, and the plurality of electrodes  3 PD of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the plurality of pads  2 PD of the wiring substrate SUB 1  are connected to each other via the plurality of protrusion electrodes  3 BP. The protrusion electrode (bump electrode)  3 BP is a metal member (conductive member) formed so as to project on the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . In the present embodiment, the protrusion electrode  3 BP is a so-called solder bump in which a solder material is laminated on the electrode  3 PD via an underlying metal film (under bump metal). The underlying metal film can be exemplified as, for example, a laminated film (a gold (Au) film is further formed on a nickel film in some cases) in which titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), and nickel (Ni) are laminated from a connecting surface side with the electrode  3 PD. Furthermore, as a solder material constituting the solder bump, a lead-containing solder material or lead-free solder can be used similarly to the above-mentioned solder ball SB. When the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is mounted on the wiring substrate SUB 1 , the solder bumps are formed in advance on both the plurality of electrodes  3 PD and the plurality of pads  2 PD, and a heat treatment (reflow processing) is performed in a state where the solder bumps contact with each other. By doing so, the solder bumps are integrated with each other to form the protrusion electrode  3 BP. In addition, as a modification example of the present embodiment, a pillar bump (columnar electrode) in which a solder film is formed on a tip surface of a conductor column made of copper (Cu) or nickel (Ni) may be used as the protrusion electrode  3 BP. 
     An underfill resin (insulating resin) UF is arranged between the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the wiring substrate SUB 1 . The underfill resin UF is arranged so as to close a space between the front surface  3   t  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the top surface  2   t  of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . Each of the plurality of protrusion electrodes  3 BP is sealed with the underfill resin UF. Further, the underfill resin UF is made of an insulating (non-conductive) material (for example, a resin material), and is arranged so as to seal an electrically connecting portion (joint portion of the plurality of protrusion electrodes  3 BP) between the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the wiring substrate SUB 1 . In this way, by covering the joint portion between the plurality of protrusion electrodes  3 BP and the plurality of pads  2 PD with the underfill resin UF, a stress generated in the electrically connecting portion between the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the wiring substrate SUB 1  can be relaxed. Moreover, the stresses generated at joint portions between the plurality of electrodes  3 PD of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the plurality of protrusion electrodes  3 BP can also be relaxed. Furthermore, protected can also be the main surface on which the semiconductor element (circuit element) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is formed. 
     Incidentally, although omitted in the figure, a heat sink may be attached to the back surface  3   b  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  as a modification example of the present embodiment. 
     Structural Configuration Example Around Pad 
     Next, details of a connecting structure between the plurality of pads  2 PD, which the semiconductor device PKG 1  shown in  FIG.  5    has, and the wiring layer WL 2  will be described.  FIG.  7    is an enlarged plan view showing, on the top surface of the wiring substrate shown in  FIG.  5   , peripheries of the terminals (pads) opposing the plurality of electrodes arranged in the A portion shown in  FIG.  6   . Each peripheral portion of the plurality of pads  2 PD shown in  FIG.  7    is covered with the insulating film SR 1 . In  FIG.  7   , an outline of the outer periphery of the pad  2 PD is shown by a dotted line.  FIG.  8    is an enlarged plan view showing, in a plan shown in  FIG.  7   , a state in which the insulating film covering the wiring layer is removed.  FIG.  8    shows an outline of each via-wiring  2   v  by a dotted line, and an outline of the opening SRh shown in  FIG.  7    by a dash-single-dot line.  FIG.  9    is an enlarged sectional view taken along line B-B of  FIG.  7   .  FIG.  10    is an enlarged plan view showing a second wiring layer shown in  FIG.  5   , and shows a portion overlapping with a portion shown in  FIG.  7   . In  FIG.  10   , in order to make it easy to differentiate between a portion in which a conductor pattern is formed and the other portion, hatching is attached to each of a plurality of wirings  2   d,  a plurality of via-lands  2   v L, and a plurality of via-wirings  2   v.  Each of  FIGS.  7 ,  8  and  10    is a perspective plan view seen from any layer of the plurality of wiring layers, which the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIG.  5    has, from a semiconductor chip CHP 1  side. Incidentally, each of  FIGS.  11 ,  12 , and  14    described later is also a perspective plan view seen from any of the plurality of wiring layers, which the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIG.  5    has, from the semiconductor chip CHP 1  side. In  FIG.  8   , marked and illustrated is each position of a center CPD of a first-row pad  2 PD, a center CVL 1  of the via-land  2   v L 1  (see  FIG.  10   ), a center CV 1  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the via-land  2   v L 1 , a center CVL 2  of the via-land  2   v L 2  (see  FIG.  10   ), and a center CV 2  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the via-land  2   v L 2 . Similarly, in  FIG.  8   , marked and illustrated is each position of a center CPD of a second-row pad  2 PD, a center CVL 3  of a second-row via-land  2 LL 2  (see  FIG.  10   ), a center CV 3  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the second-row via-land  2 LL 2 , a center CVL 4  of a third-row via-land  2 LL 3  (see  FIG.  10   ), and a center CV 4  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the third-row via-land  2 LL 3 . 
     In a perspective plan view seen from the semiconductor chip CHP 1  side, each of the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIG.  5    and the plurality of wiring layers includes: a region (first region) CHR 1  (see  FIG.  7   ) that overlaps with the semiconductor chip CHP 1 ; and a region that does not overlap with the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and is around the region CHR 1 . Further, each of the plurality of wiring layers includes a boundary line CBL 1  (see  FIG.  7   ) that is a boundary between the region CHR 1  and the region CHR 2  and overlaps with the side  3   s l (see  FIG.  6   ) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  in a perspective plan view. In  FIGS.  7 ,  8  and  10   , the boundary line CBL 1  between the region CH 1  and the region CHR 2  is shown by a dash-double-dot line. In the following description, the term “boundary line CBL 1 ” in the text described by using the boundary line CBL 1  can be read as the phrase “the side  3   s l of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  in a plan view seen from the semiconductor chip CHP 1  side”. 
     As shown in  FIG.  7   , each peripheral portion of the plurality of pads  2 PD is covered with the insulating film SR 1 , and each central portion of the plurality of pads  2 PD is exposed from the insulating film SR 1  in an opening SRh formed in the insulating film SR 1 . As shown in  FIG.  9   , a portion of the pad  2 PD exposed from the opening SRh is joined to the protrusion electrode  3 BP. The plurality of pads  2 PD mutually opposes the plurality of electrodes  3 PD shown in  FIG.  6   . The plurality of pads  2 PD, which the wiring substrate SUB 1  has, forms a signal transmission path, a reference-potential supply path, or a power-supply-potential supply path. 
     Further, as shown in  FIG.  7   , the plurality of pads  2 PD is arranged in a plurality of rows on the top surface  2   t  of the wiring substrate SUB 1 . For example, if it is assumed that the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 1  shown in  FIG.  8    is set as a reference, the plurality of pads  2 PD includes: a plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1  closest to the boundary line CBL 1 ; a plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  closest to the boundary line CBL 1  and next to the first-row pads  2 PL 1 ; a plurality of third-row pads  2 PL 3  closest to the boundary line CBL 1  and next to the second-row pads  2 PL 2 . Incidentally, in the present embodiment, a pitch between the plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1 , a pitch between the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2 , and a pitch between the plurality of third-row pads  2 PL 3  are at least the same in design. Each of the plurality of pads  2 PD shown in  FIGS.  7  and  8    includes, for example, the signal transmission path SGP described with reference to  FIG.  2   . In an example shown in  FIG.  7   , the plurality of pads  2 PD is arranged in a houndstooth pattern. That is, each of the plurality first-row pads  2 PL 1  and the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  are arranged along the X direction which is an extending direction of the boundary line CBL 1 . In the Y direction orthogonal to the X direction, the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  is not arranged linearly with the plurality first-row pads  2 PL 1 , and are arranged so as be shifted between the first-row pads  2 PL 1  adjacent to each other. In other words, each of the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  is arranged in the X direction so as to be located between the plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1 . 
     Each of the plurality of pads  2 PD is connected to the via-land  2   v L, which is formed on the wiring layer WL 2  shown in  FIG.  10   , through the via-wiring  2   v.  The plurality of via-lands  2   v L includes: a plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  connected to the plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1  (see  FIG.  7   ); a plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  connected to the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2 ; and a plurality of third-row via-lands  2 LL 3  connected to the plurality of third-row pads  2 PL 3  (see  FIG.  7   ). 
     Each of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L is connected to the wiring  2   d.  in other words, the plurality of wirings  2   d  is electrically connected to the plurality of pads  2 PD, respectively. Specifically, the plurality of wirings  2   d  and the plurality of pads  2 PD are electrically connected to each other via the plurality of via-wirings  2   v.  In a case of a semiconductor device having a large number of signal transmission paths like the present embodiment, the wiring  2   d  (see  FIG.  10   ) connected to each of a large number of pads  2 PD is arranged so as to spread out from the region CHR 1  shown in  FIG.  7    toward the region CHR 2 . In other words, each of the plurality of wirings  2   d  is arranged in each of the region CHR 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  shown in  FIG.  10    and the region CHR 2  of the wiring layer WL 2  so as to straddle the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  in a perspective plan view seen from the wiring substrate SUB 1  (see  FIG.  10   ) from the semiconductor chip CHP 1  side shown in  FIG.  6   . Since each of the plurality of wirings  2   d  is arranged so as to straddle the boundary line CBL 1  between the region CHR 1  and the region CHR 2 , a large number of signal transmission paths can be led out from the region CHR 1  to the region CHR 2 . 
     When an increase in size of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is being suppressed and the number of terminals is increasing, layout of the plurality of electrodes  3 PD of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  shown in  FIG.  6    needs to be made high density. Further, when an arrangement pitch of the electrode  3 PD becomes small, a technique for reducing the arrangement pitch of the pad  2 PD (see  FIG.  7   ) on the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIG.  7    is required. 
     For example, in a case of the example shown in  FIG.  7   , a pitch P 1  which is a center-to-center distance of the adjacent first-row pads  2 PL 1  is 150 to 200 μm. Further, each diameter of the plurality of pads  2 PD shown in  FIG.  8    has been set at 95 μm, and a diameter of the opening SRh has been set at 63 μm. Moreover, each diameter of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L, shown in  FIG.  10    is, for example, 63 μm. Furthermore, each diameter of the plurality of via-wirings  2   v  shown in  FIG.  8    is, for example, 25 μm. In addition, an example shown in  FIG.  10    has been designed based on the following design rule: a wiring width is 11.7 μm and the shortest distance between adjacent conductor patterns is 12.0. 
     When the pitch P 1  of the pad  2 PD becomes small, it becomes difficult to arrange a signal wiring(s) between the adjacent pads  2 PD. In arranging a large number of signal wirings connected to the pads  2 PD, a plurality of signal wirings needs to be arranged between the adjacent via-lands  2   v L among the plurality of via-lands  2   v L (see  FIG.  10   ) connected to the plurality of pads  2 PDs. For example, in a case of an example of the present embodiment, as shown in  FIG.  10   , five wirings  2   d  are arranged between the adjacent first-row via-lands  2 LL 1 . 
     As a method of coping with an increase in the number of lead-out wirings due to an increase in the number of terminals, there is a method of adopting a design rule that narrows a wiring width of the wiring  2   d  and a separation distance between the adjacent wirings  2   d.  However, only handling by the fineness of the wiring  2   d  or the like as described above brings limitations. Further, as another method for increasing the number of lead-out wirings, a method of forming the wiring  2   d  connected to the pad  2 PD on a plurality of wiring layers can be considered. From the viewpoint of suppressing the increase in the number of wiring layers, it is preferable that the number of wiring layers in which the lead-out wiring is arranged is small. 
     Therefore, the inventor(s) of the present application has examined a method for increasing the number of wirings  2   d  which are lead-out wirings by a method other than the above, and found a structure of the present embodiment. That is, as shown in  FIG.  10   , the plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  has: a plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  arranged so as to be shifted in a direction away from the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  from positions overlapping with the respective centers CPD (see  FIG.  8   ) of the plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1  (see  FIG.  3   ) and a plurality of via-lands  2   v L 2  arranged at a position closer to the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  than the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1 . The plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  and the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 2  are alternately arranged in the X direction along the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2 . 
     In other words, the plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  has a plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  arranged such that their centers (see  FIG.  8   ) are shifted in a direction away from the side  3   s   1  (see  FIG.  6   ) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  (see  FIG.  6   ) from a position overlapping with the center CPD (see  FIG.  8   ) of the corresponding first-row pad  2 PL 1  (see  FIG.  8   ) in a perspective plane view. Further, the plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  has a plurality of via-lands  2   v L 2  arranged at a position where their centers CVL 2  are closer to the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  than the via-lands  2   v L 1  in the perspective plane view. In the perspective plane view, the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  and the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 2  are alternately arranged in the X direction along the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 . 
     A configuration shown in  FIG.  10    can be expressed as follows. The plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  includes via-lands  2   v L 1  and via-lands  2   v L 2  that are alternately arranged in the X direction along the boundary line CBL 1  of the second wiring layer WL 2 , and a distance D 1  from the via-land  2   v L 1  to the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  is longer than a distance D 2  from the via-land  2   v L 2  to the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2 . 
     In a case of a structure of the present embodiment shown in  FIG.  10   , a separation distance between the via-land  2   v L 1  and via-land  2   v L 2  adjacent to each other can be made larger as compared with a case of linearly arranging the plurality of first-row via-lands  2 LL 1  along the X direction. Therefore, even if the design rule for narrowing the wiring width of the wiring  2   d  and the separation distance between the adjacent wirings  2   d  is not adopted, five wirings  2   d  can be arranged between the adjacent via-lands  2   v L. 
     As a method of increasing the separation distance between the via-land  2   v L 1  and the via-land  2   v L 2 , there is also a method of shifting the via-land  2   v L 1  so as to approach the boundary line CBL 1  besides the method shown in  FIG.  10   . However, according to the study of the inventor of the present application, the inventor has found that the distance between the via-land  2   v L and the boundary line CBL 1  should not be too close from the viewpoint of suppressing fracture (breakage) of a joint interface between the via-land and the via-wiring  2   v.  As shown in  FIG.  5   , when the semiconductor chip CHP 1  is mounted on the wiring substrate SUB 1  by a flip-chip connecting method, a stress due to a temperature-cycle load or the like during use is generated around the pad  2 PD. Specifically, due to a difference in the coefficient of linear expansion between the semiconductor chip CHP and the wiring substrate SUB 1 , the stress is generated in the plurality of pads  2 PD connecting the semiconductor chip CHP 1  and the wiring substrate SUB 1 . A stress distribution in a plan view indicates that as the pad  2 PD is closer to a center of a front surface  3   t  (see  FIG.  6   ) of the semiconductor chip CHP 1 , its stress becomes lower (weaker) and as the pad  2 PD is closer to a peripheral portion of the front surface  3   t,  its stress becomes larger (stronger). When the strong stress is generated in the pad  2 PD, the stress is transmitted (propagated) to an interior part of the wiring substrate SUB 1  through the via-wiring  2   v.  Further, according to the study of the present inventor, the inventor has found that a stress concentration easily occurs at an interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L and, as a result, fracture is likely to occur at a joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L. Incidentally, in the study by the inventor of the present application, as the temperature cycle load, a temperature cycle load of −65° C. to 150° C. has been repeatedly applied 1500 times to the completed semiconductor device. Then, a state of the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L has been photographed with an electron microscope, and presence or absence of the fracture has been evaluated. 
     From the above-mentioned findings, the inventor has understood that a position of the via-land  2   v L 1  is preferably not too close to the boundary line CBL 1 . As shown in  FIG.  10   , when being arranged so as to be shifted in the direction way from the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  from the position overlapping with each center of the plurality of first-row pads  2 PL 1  (see  FIG.  8   ), each of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  can increase the distance between the via-land  2   v L 1  and the boundary line CBL 1 , so that such an increase in distance is preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing the fracture of the joint interface between the via-land  2   v L 1  and the via wiring  2   v.    
     Further, according to the study of the inventor of the present application, as shown in  FIG.  9   , the inventor has found that the center of the via-land  2   v L 1  preferably overlaps with no outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1  from the viewpoint of suppressing the fracture of the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L due to the above-mentioned stress. In  FIG.  9   , a virtual center line VCL in which the center of the via-land  2   v L 1  and the center of the via-wiring  2   v  extend in a Z direction is illustrated by a dash-double-dot line. Each center of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  shown in  FIG.  10    is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1  shown in  FIG.  7   . At a joint interface between the pad  2 PD and the protrusion electrode  3 BP, the above-mentioned stress becomes greatest on the outline of the opening SRh. Therefore, like the present embodiment, the center of the via-land  2   v L 1  is arranged at the position that does not overlap with the outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1 , which makes it possible to suppress the fracture of the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L 1 . 
     A structure shown in  FIG.  9    can be described as follows by focusing on the via-wiring  2   v.  The center of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the via-land  2   v L 1  is arranged at the position that does not overlap with the outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1 . The center of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to each of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1   s  shown in  FIG.  10    is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1  shown in  FIG.  7   . This makes it possible to suppress the fracture of the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L 1 . 
     From the viewpoint of improving a joint strength between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L, it is preferable that the center of the via-wiring  2   v  and the center of the via-land  2   v L overlap with each other as shown in  FIG.  9   . However, even if the center of the via-wiring  2   v  and the center of the via-land  2   v L are designed to overlap with each other in the design, the center of the via-wiring  2   v  and the center of the via-land  2   v L may deviate from each other depending on a manufacturing condition such as processing accuracy. If the center of the via-wiring  2   v  and the center of the via-land  2   v L are designed to overlap with each other, a degree of deviation can be reduced even if a central position deviates due to the processing accuracy. 
     Further, as shown in  FIG.  8   , the central CVL 2  of the via-land  2   v L 2  (see  FIG.  10   ) overlaps with the central CPD of the first-row pad  2 PPL 1 . Furthermore, the central CV 2  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the via-and  2   v L 2  overlaps with the central CPD of the first-row pad  2 PL 1 . Similarly, centers CVL 3  of the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  (see  FIG.  10   ) overlap with centers CPD of the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2 . The center CV 3  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 3  overlaps with the centers CPD of the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2 . Moreover, centers CVL 4  of the plurality of third-row via-lands  2 LL 3  (see  FIG.  10   ) overlap with centers CPD of the plurality of third-row pads  2 PL 3 . A center CV 4  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the plurality of third-row via-lands  2 LL 3  overlaps with the centers CPD of the plurality of third-row pads  2 PL 3  shown in  FIG.  7   . In this way, when shifting the positions of the via-land  2   v L and the via-wiring  2   v  is not required, it is preferable that the center of the pad  2 PD, the center of the via-wiring  2   v,  and the center of the via-land  2   v L are arranged so as to overlap with one another. 
     Although some modification examples have been described in the above-described embodiment, a typical modification example other than the modification examples described in the above-described embodiment will be described below. 
     First Modification Example 
       FIG.  11    is an enlarged plan view of a wiring substrate which is a modification example of the wiring substrate shown in  FIG.  7   . In  FIG.  11   , an outline of an outer periphery of the pad  2 PD is shown by a dotted line similarly to that of  FIG.  7   .  FIG.  12    is an enlarged plan view showing a state in which an insulating film covering a wiring layer is removed in the plan shown in  FIG.  11   . In  FIG.  12   , an outline of the via-wiring  2   v  is illustrated by a dotted line, and an outline of the opening SRh shown in  FIG.  11    is illustrated by a dash-single-dot line.  FIG.  13    is an enlarged sectional view taken along line C-C of  FIG.  7   .  FIG.  14    is an enlarged plan view showing a second wiring layer of the wiring substrate, which is a modification example of  FIG.  10   , and shows a portion overlapping with a portion shown in  FIG.  11   . In  FIG.  14   , in order to make it easy to differentiate between a portion forming a conductor pattern and the other portion, hatching is attached to each of the plurality of wirings  2   d,  the plurality of via-lands  2   v L, and the plurality of via-wirings  2   v.  In  FIG.  12   , each position of a center CPD of the pad  2 PD, a center CVL 1  of the via-land  2   v L 1  (see  FIG.  10   ), a center CV 1  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the via-land  2   v L 1 , a center CVL 2  of the via-land  2   v L 2  (see  FIG.  10   ), and a center CV 2  of the via-wring  2   v  connected to the via-land  2   v L 2  is marked and illustrated. Similarly, as shown in  FIG.  8   , each position of a center CPD of the second-row pad  2 PD, a center CVL 3  of the second-row via-land  2 LL 2  (seen  FIG.  14   ), a center CV 3  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the second-row via-land  2 LL 2 , a center CVL 4  of the third-row via-land  2 LL 3  (see  FIG.  14   ), and a center of CV 4  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to the third-row via-land  2 LL 3  is marked and illustrated. 
     A wiring substrate SUB 2 , which the semiconductor device PKG 2  (see  FIGS.  11  and  13   ) shown in  FIGS.  11  to  14    has, is different from the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIGS.  7  to  10    in the following points. As can be seen by comparing  FIG.  12    and  FIG.  14   , each center CVL 3  (see  FIG.  12   ) of the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  (see  FIG.  14   ) is arranged so as to be shifted in a direction away from the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  from a position that overlaps with each center CPD (see  FIG.  12   ) of the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  (see  FIG.  12   ). 
     A structure of the wiring substrate SUB 2  shown in  FIGS.  11  to  14    can be described as follows. A separation distance between each center CVL 3  (see  FIG.  12   ) of the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  and the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  (in other words, the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  shown in  FIG.  6    in a perspective plan view) is longer than a separation distance between each center CPD of the plurality of second-row pads  2 PL 2  (see  FIG.  8    or  FIG.  12   ) and the boundary line CBL 1  (in other words, the side  3   s   1  of the semiconductor chip CHP 1  shown in  FIG.  6    in a perspective plan view) of the wiring layer WL 1  (see  FIG.  12   ). 
     As shown in  FIG.  14   , the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  connected to the plurality of second-row pads PL 2  is shifted in the direction away from the boundary line CBL 1 , so that a distance between each of the plurality of second-row via-lands  2 LL 2  and each of the plurality of via-lands  2   v L 1  can be increased (widened) as compared with that of an example shown in  FIG.  10   . In a case of this modification example, as can be seen by comparing  FIGS.  14  and  10   , a distance D 1  from the via-land  2   v L 1  to the boundary line CBL 1  of the wiring layer WL 2  can be made longer than that of the wiring substrate SUB 1  shown in  FIG.  10   . As a result, the separation distance between the via-land  2   v L 1  and the via-land  2   v L 2  adjacent to each other can be further increased, so that a margin can be given to the design rule of the plurality of wirings  2   d  arranged in the wiring layer WL 2   
     For example, as shown in  FIG.  13   , the center CVL 1  (see  FIG.  12   ) of the via-land  2   v L 1  is arranged outside the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1 . Each center CVL 1  of the plurality of via-wirings  2   v L 1  shown in  FIG.  14    is arranged outside the insulating film STh. Further, as shown in  FIGS.  12  and  13   , the center CV 1  of the via-wiring  2   v  connected to each via-land  2   v L 1  is arranged outside an outline of the opening SRh of the insulating film SR 1 . 
     As described above, when the via-wiring  2   v  and the center CVL 1  of the via-land  2   v L 1  are arranged outside the joint interface between the pad  2 PD and the protrusion electrode  3 BP (see  FIG.  13   ) in the perspective plan view, it is easily suppressed that the above-mentioned stress is transmitted to the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L 1 . Therefore, according to this modification example, the fracture at the joint interface between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L 1  can be further suppressed. 
     Second Modification Example 
     Further, although the examples of the design rules are shown for the examples shown in  FIGS.  7  to  10   , values of the design rules are not limited to the above-mentioned values and various modification examples can be applied. For example, given is a modification example, in which a diameter of the via-wiring  2   v  is expanded to 40 μm, among the above-mentioned numerical examples. In this case, since a junction area between the via-wiring  2   v  and the via-land  2   v L is increased, a joint strength can be improved. Further, for example, given is a modification example, in which a diameter of the via-and  2   v L, is set to 53 μm, among the above-mentioned numerical examples. In this case, since the separation distance between the adjacent via-lands  2   v L can be increased, the design rules relating to the wiring width and the separation distance of the conductor pattern can be relaxed. 
     Third Modification Example 
     Further, each of the plurality of pads  2 PD shown in  FIGS.  7 ,  8 ,  11 , and  12    is, for example, a pad for signal transmission through which an electric signal is transmitted. However, included between the plurality of signal transmission paths may be the supply path of the reference potential VSS shown in  FIG.  2   , for example, as a transmission path for return current or for electromagnetic wave shielding of the signal transmission path. 
     Fourth Modification Example 
     Further, for example, although various modification examples have been described as mentioned above, each modification example mentioned above can be combined and applied. 
     Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and, needless to say, can be variously modified without departing from the scope thereof.
