Abstract

To improve reliability of a semiconductor device in which wire bonding using a wire made of copper is performed. A semiconductor device is configured so that one of end parts (wide width part) of a copper wire is joined via a bump on a pad (electrode pad) formed over a main surface (first main surface) of a semiconductor chip of the semiconductor device. The bump is made of gold, which is a metal material having a hardness lower than that of copper, and the width of the bump is narrower than the width of the wide width part of the wire.
