Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first electrode located on an upper surface of the substrate, and a second electrode located on a lower surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the first electrode. The semiconductor device further includes a first resist layer located on the upper surface of the substrate so as to surround the first electrode and spaced from the first electrode, and a second resist layer located on the lower surface of the substrate.
