A semiconductor device having area array bump electrodes suitable for flip chip
packaging is disclosed. A semiconductor chip with wire bonding electrodes arranged
along peripheral edges thereof is provided, then gold wire bump electrodes are
formed over the wire bonding electrodes, and thereafter a wiring tape substrate
is superimposed on the semiconductor chip and is bonded thereto with an adhesive.
On a back surface of the wiring tape substrate are formed wiring connections correspondingly
to the electrodes. Further, at the time of bonding with use of the adhesive, convex
tips of the gold wire bump electrodes formed respectively on the electrodes of
the semiconductor chip pierce through the adhesive to connect the gold wire bump
electrodes and the connections electrically with each other. On a surface of the
wiring tape substrate are formed area array bump electrodes, whose pitch is larger
than the pitch of the electrodes formed on the semiconductor chip.
