Patent ID: 7122910

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor chip comprising circuit elements; electrode pads formed on a main surface of said semiconductor chip: a passivation film, formed on the main surface of the semiconductor chip and said electrode pads at a position opposing said circuit elements; an insulating film, which extends over a main surface and side faces of the passivation film and onto the main surface of the semiconductor chip, so as not to cover a region of said main surface of the semiconductor chip along the edges of the main surface of the semiconductor chip; an aperture formed through both of said passivation film and said insulating film so as to reach to a top face of said electrode pad; a conductive layer, extending over said top face of said electrode pad and along the inner-wall faces of said aperture onto said insulating film; and a sealing layer, formed on said region along the edges of said main surface of said semiconductor chip and covering said insulating film.
