Patent ID: 8405208

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate having an integrated circuit formed thereon; a plurality of electrode pads formed on the semiconductor substrate, being intended for input and output of signals between the integrated circuit and an external circuit; and a plurality of external electrodes, each connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of electrode pads via rewiring, the external electrodes making connection terminals for the external circuit, wherein the plurality of external electrodes include a first group of external electrodes arranged linearly along an edge of the semiconductor device and a second group of external electrodes arranged linearly inside the first group of external electrodes, the first group of external electrodes being outermost external electrodes, and wherein the plurality of electrode pads are arranged between the first group of external electrodes and the second group of external electrodes, and at least one of the plurality of electrode pads is provided at a position where a distance between the at least one of the plurality of electrode pads and one of the first group of external electrodes and a distance between the at least one of the plurality of electrode pads and one of the second group of external electrodes is approximately same.
