A semiconductor device includes a conductive layer with a plurality of wires,
and
a bonding pad formed in a region overlapping with the plurality of wires of the
conductive layer. One of the wires is connected to the bonding pad, and an insulating
protective film is formed between the remaining wires and the bonding pad. The
protective film is bridged between adjacent wires at least in a region overlapping
with the bonding pad. As a result, the protective film on the wires forms a bridge
structure, which is effective in preventing cracking at a lower portion of the
protective film. Further, a void formed underneath the bridged portion serves as
an air spring to prevent damage to the structural elements, such as the wires,
formed under the protective film. Further, because a polyimide film, which serves
as a shock absorber, is not required, working efficiency can be improved and chip
cost can be reduced.
