Patent ID: 7875911

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate including an active element or an integrated circuit and a plurality of connection electrodes to be electrically connected to the integrated circuit; a first resin layer formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate on which the connection electrodes are formed; a connection wiring layer formed between the semiconductor substrate and the first resin layer and connected to one of the plurality of connection electrodes; a Cu wiring layer connected at one end thereof to the connection wiring layer and formed on the surface of the first resin layer; a passive element composed of the first resin layer, the connection wiring layer and the Cu wiring layer, the first resin layer interposing the connection wiring layer and the Cu wiring layer; a second resin layer for covering a surface of the Cu wiring layer; and an external terminal electrically connected to some of the plurality of connection electrodes and formed such that a portion of the second resin layer protrudes from the second resin layer; wherein the first resin layer having a thickness up to a height of the surface of the Cu wiring layer and the connection wiring layer; wherein an end portion and the connection wiring layer of the passive element extends from a point beneath to a point above the first resin layer.
