Abstract

A semiconductor device with improved quality and reliability is provided. In a UBM formed over an electrode pad located over a semiconductor substrate, the edge (end) of an Au film as an upper layer is located inside or in the same position as the edge (end) of a TiW film as a lower layer, which can suppress the formation of a suspended part in the Au film. This arrangement can prevent the occurrence of electrical short circuit between the adjacent pads due to the suspended part and the adhesion of the suspended part as foreign matter to the semiconductor substrate, thus improving the quality and reliability of the semiconductor device (semiconductor chip).
