Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a wiring substrate including multiple connection pads provided on a top surface thereof and multiple lands that are provided on a bottom surface thereof and electrically connected to the corresponding connection pads; a semiconductor chip mounted on the top surface of the wiring substrate and electrically connected to the connection pads; a solder resist deposited on the bottom surface of the wiring substrate and having multiple openings to which the lands are respectively exposed, each of the openings being shifted with respect to a corresponding land of the lands; multiple external terminals connected respectively to the lands through the openings; and a dummy wiring arranged on the bottom surface of the wiring substrate and separately from the corresponding land so that a corresponding external terminal of the external terminals is connected to the corresponding land and the dummy wiring partially exposed to the corresponding opening.

Claims (11)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a wiring substrate including a plurality of connection pads provided on a top surface thereof and a plurality of lands that are provided on a bottom surface thereof and electrically connected to the corresponding connection pads;

a semiconductor chip mounted on the top surface of the wiring substrate and electrically connected to the connection pads;

a solder resist deposited on the bottom surface of the wiring substrate and having a plurality of openings to which the lands are respectively exposed, each of the openings being shifted with respect to a corresponding land of the lands;

a plurality of external terminals connected respectively to the lands through the openings; and

a dummy wiring arranged on the bottom surface of the wiring substrate and separately from the corresponding land so that a corresponding external terminal of the external terminals is connected to the corresponding land and the dummy wiring partially exposed to the corresponding opening.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the solder resist on the circumference of each of the openings is thinner on a side of the dummy wiring than that on a side of the corresponding land.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the openings is shifted with respect to the corresponding land toward corners and outer edges of the wiring substrate.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of dummy wirings are arranged on the bottom surface of the wiring substrate and separately from the corresponding land so that the corresponding external terminal is connected to the corresponding land and the dummy wirings partially exposed to the corresponding opening.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein an edge portion of the dummy wiring is widened.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy wiring is connected to a wiring connected to the corresponding land.
