Abstract

A flip-chip mounting technique with high reliability is provided in flip-chip mounting using a Cu pillar. In a semiconductor device to be coupled to a mounting board via a Cu pillar, the Cu pillar is caused to have a laminated structure including a pillar layer, a barrier layer, and a bump in this order from below, and the bump is formed to be smaller than the barrier layer.
