Patent ID: 7667336

Claim:
A semiconductor device provided with a semiconductor chip wherein an electrode pad is formed on a circuit formation surface, said semiconductor device comprising: a first passivation film, which serves as an adhesive layer, formed on the circuit formation surface, with a first electrode-pad opening section from which the electrode pad is to be exposed; a second passivation film, which protects said semiconductor chip from external physical damage, formed on said first passivation film, with a second electrode-pad opening section from which said electrode pad is to be exposed; and an external connection terminal which connects the electrode pad to an external equipment, said external connection terminal including a metal film having rounded side edges said metal film being formed so as to cover at least the first electrode-pad opening section, said second electrode-pad opening section being formed so as to expose said first electrode-pad opening section entirely, and said second passivation film being provided so as not to be in direct contact with said electrode pad.
