In order to inhibit the connection failure due to the degradation of the
connection interface strength of the electrode pad and the warp thereof
in the semiconductor device having an electrode pad, a metal layer formed
on the electrode pad, and a metal bump formed on the metal layer, in the
present invention, gold (Au) is contained in the metal layer, the metal
bump is made of solder mainly made of Sn and designed to have an average
height H of 100 .mu.m or less per unit area in the electrode pad, and the
concentration of Au of the metal layer dissolved in the solder is set to
1.3.times.10.sup.-3 (Vol %) or less. More preferably, the metal bump
contains palladium (Pd), and the solder coating for forming the metal
bump on the electrode pad is performed by using the dipping and the paste
printing in combination.
