Patent ID: 7791196

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; an electric circuit having a circuit electrode formed on said substrate; a first insulating film covering said electric circuit and having a first opening exposing a part of said circuit electrode; a conductive member formed in contact with the part of said circuit electrode through the first opening, said conductive member being elongated over the first insulating film to form an elongated portion; a second insulating film covering the elongated portion of said conductive member, said second insulating film being smaller in area than said first insulating film to leave a portion of said first insulating film uncovered by said second insulating film and having a second opening to expose a part of the elongated portion of said conductive member; and a pad electrode formed in contact with the part of the elongated portion of said conductive member through the second opening and elongated over said second insulating film, wherein said second insulating film is in an island form generally surrounded by said portion of said first insulating film that is uncovered by said second insulating film.
