A semiconductor device is provided with a plurality of protrusions which are made of a resin and which protrude higher than electrodes, and conductive layers which are electrically connected to the electrodes and which cover the top surfaces of the protrusions. A method for manufacturing the semiconductor device includes a step of applying a layer of the resin to the semiconductor device except for the electrodes, a step of patterning the conductive layers on the electrodes and the layer of the resin in accordance with the protrusions, and a step of removing the layer of the resin located between the conductive layers by the use of the patterned conductive layers as masks so as to form the protrusions.
