Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes (i) a step of preparing a first semiconductor chip having a first electrode pad thereon and a second semiconductor chip having a second electrode pad thereon and larger in thickness than the first semiconductor chip, the second electrode pad being larger in size than the first electrode pad, (ii) a step of mounting the first semiconductor chip and the second semiconductor chip on the same planarized surface of a substrate having a uniform thickness, (iii) a step of bonding a ball formed by heating and melting a bonding wire to the second electrode pad, (iv) a step of first-bonding the bonding wire to the first electrode pad, and (v) a step of second-bonding the bonding wire to the ball.

Claim (Index 4):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the bonding wire includes a first portion that connects a first position higher than a position of the ball to the first electrode pad when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a planarized surface of a substrate, a second portion that connects the first position to a second position, the second position being at substantially the same height as the first position, wherein a distance between the second position and the second electrode pad is shorter than a distance between the second position and the first electrode pad, and a third portion that connects the second position to the second electrode pad; and the bonding wire bends at the first position and the second position, the bonding wire and an imaginary line connecting an end of the first portion and an end of the second portion being in a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the planarized surface of the substrate.
