Patent ID: 7390733

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a first resist layer at a semiconductor substrate, where an electrode pad is formed; forming a first opening portion, corresponding to a position of the electrode pad, in the first resist layer by patterning the first resist layer; forming a protruding electrode at the electrode pad by embedding a conductive layer in the first opening portion; removing the first resist layer; forming a second resist layer at the semiconductor substrate, where the protruding electrode is formed; forming a second opening portion, whose opening area is smaller than the first opening portion and is aligned with the first opening portion, at the protruding electrode by patterning the second resist layer, the opening area of the second opening portion being adjusted so that the protruding electrode has a prism shape with a leading edge that is continuously sharpened; forming a protruding portion at the protruding electrode by embedding a conductive layer in the second opening portion; and removing the second resist layer, the first resist layer and the second resist layer not being removed together.
