Abstract

A semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof improving moisture resistance of a FeRAM. After a probe test using a pad, a metal film is formed to cover the pad in an opening of a protective film and a region from the pad to an opening outer periphery of the protective film. On the metal film, a metal bump is formed. The metal film is formed to have a two-layer structure of the first and second metal films. Materials of the lower and upper layers are selected mainly in consideration of adhesion to the protective film and adhesion to the metal bump, respectively. Film formation conditions thereof are set to provide metal films with a desired quality and thickness. Thus, penetration of moisture from the pad or the periphery into a ferroelectric capacitor can be prevented and therefore, occurrence of potential inversion abnormalities due to penetrated moisture can be effectively suppressed.
