Abstract

A semiconductor device having a bump electrode includes a first conductive layer formed on a predetermined portion of a substrate. An insulating layer is formed on the substrate and the first conductive layer. The insulating layer has an opening portion such that a predetermined portion of the first conductive layer is exposed. A second conductive layer is formed on the first conductive layer, a side wall of the opening portion of the insulating layer, and an upper surface of the insulating layer. A third conductive layer is formed to cover at least the insulating layer on the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer along the portion. A fourth conductive layer is formed on the third conductive layer to have an over hang portion. A side etch portion is formed surrounded with an over hang portion of the fourth conductive layer, the third conductive layer, and the insulating layer.
