Abstract

A film carrier is used for fabricating a semiconductor device, and comprises an insulating film and a plurality of conductive leads each extending on the insulating film and having a front side surface and a reverse side surface, and a bump is formed in each of the conductive leads and has a projecting surface projecting from the reverse side surface and a depressed surface defining a recess open to the front side surface, so that the bump has a dome-shaped configuration and is much liable to deform in a thermocompression bonding stage.
