Abstract

A semiconductor device may include a semiconductor substrate, a first metal film covering a surface of the semiconductor substrate; a protection film covering a peripheral portion of a surface of the first metal film; and a second metal film covering a range extending across a center portion of the surface of the first metal film and a surface of the protection film, wherein a recess may be provided in the surface of the protection film, and a part of the second metal film may be in contact with an inner surface of the recess.

Claims (10)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a semiconductor substrate;

a first metal film covering a surface of the semiconductor substrate;

a protection film covering a peripheral portion of a surface of the first metal film and including an opening in which a portion of the surface of the first metal film is located; and

a second metal film covering a range extending across the portion of the surface of the first metal film located in the opening and a surface of the protection film,

wherein

a recess is provided in the surface of the protection film,

a part of the second metal film is in contact with an inner surface of the recess, and

the recess extends in a ring shape in a top view of the semiconductor device so as to surround the opening.

2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising a solder layer covering a surface of the second metal film.
