A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes defining chip
sections on a wafer by scribe lines with each chip section having chip
electrodes formed thereon. The wafer is covered with a passivating film
except for on the chip electrodes. Aluminum interconnection layers are
provided such that each layer is connected to the chip electrode at one
end thereof and the other end of the layer is extended towards the
central portion of the chip section. A cover coating film is applied on
the passivating film and the layers. A number of apertures are formed in
the coating film passing therethrough, and bump electrodes are formed at
the position corresponding to the apertures. The chip sections are then
separated from each other along the scribe lines into semiconductor
devices.
