Abstract

A method for forming a bump includes the steps of forming a resist layer so that a through-hole formed therein is located on a pad; and forming a metal layer to be electrically connected to the pad conforming to the shape of the through-hole. The metal layer is formed so as to have a shape in which is formed a region for receiving a soldering or brazing material.

Claims (13)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor chip having a plurality of pads;

a metal layer disposed on each of the pads;

a plurality of leads, and

a soldering or brazing material disposed between the metal layer and one of the leads;

wherein the metal layer is bonded to one of the leads through the soldering or brazing material,

wherein a through-hole which is provided in the direction of the height of the metal layer is formed at the center of the metal layer, the through-hole exposing a portion of each of the pads, and

the soldering or brazing material is put in the through-hole.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein two or more the metal layers are formed on one of the pads, and

the soldering or brazing material is put in a region formed between adjacent metal layers of the two or more the metal layers on one of the pads.

3. A circuit board on which is mounted the semiconductor device according to claim 1 .

4. An electronic instrument comprising the semiconductor device according to claim 1 .
