Patent attributes
A semiconductor device includes a wiring board having a plurality of conductive wires aligned on an insulating base material and a board bump with a plated metal formed on each conductive wire so as to cover an upper surface and both sides of the conductive wire; and a semiconductor chip mounted on the wiring board, with electrodes of the semiconductor chip being connected to the conductive wires via the board bumps. Chip bumps are formed on the electrodes of the semiconductor chip. The electrodes of the semiconductor chip are connected to the conductive wires via a bond between the chip bumps and the board bumps. Protruding portions are formed by part of the plated metal of the board bumps at the bonded portion peeling off and protruding outwardly from a bonding surface of the chip bumps and the board bumps. Mechanical damage to the semiconductor chip caused by ultrasonic vibrations applied during process of mounting the semiconductor chip.
