Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element having first and second main surfaces spaced apart in a thickness direction. The semiconductor element includes a metal underlying layer on the first main surface, a bonding pad on the metal underlying layer with a wire bonded to the pad, and an insulative protection layer formed on the first main surface and surrounding the bonding pad. The bonding pad includes first and second conductive layers. The first conductive layer covers the metal underlying layer and is made of a metal having a lower ionization tendency than the metal underlying layer. The second conductive layer covers the first conductive layer and is made of a metal having a lower ionization tendency than the first conductive layer. The first and second conductive layers have respective peripheries held in close contact with the protection layer and covering a part of the protection layer.

Claim (Index 25):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a semiconductor element including a first main surface and a second main surface that are spaced apart from each other in a thickness direction; and a wire, wherein the semiconductor element includes: a metal underlying layer formed on the first main surface; a bonding pad formed on the metal underlying layer and to which the wire is bonded; and an insulative protection layer formed on the first main surface and surrounding the bonding pad as viewed in the thickness direction, the bonding pad includes: a first conductive layer covering the metal underlying layer and made of a metal having a lower ionization tendency than the metal underlying layer; and a second conductive layer covering the first conductive layer and made of a metal having a lower ionization tendency than the first conductive layer, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer have peripheries, respectively, that are in close contact with the protection layer and cover a part of the protection layer, the protection layer includes a first protection layer and a second protection layer formed on the first protection layer.
