Patent ID: 7863719

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a first insulating section disposed on a first surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a plurality of structures wherein each of the structures comprises: a first conductive section disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; a second insulating section disposed over the first insulating section; a second conductive section disposed over the second insulating section and electrically connected to the first conductive section through an opening in the second insulating section; a third insulating section disposed over the second conductive section; and a terminal electrically connected to the second conductive section through an opening in the third insulating section; and; an opening between at least one pair of adjacent structures passing through the second insulating section, thus exposing the first insulating section, wherein the third insulating section connects the at least one pair of adjacent structures and covers the opening between the at least one pair of adjacent structures.
