The invention includes a semiconductor device, and a method for making the
same, wherein bumps of a semiconductor chip and inner leads of a film
tape carrier can be securely bonded to each other by thermal welding
using a heating unit. A semiconductor wafer is etched using a potassium
iodide or ammonium iodide solution. By the etching, a barrier metal layer
is removed while the upper face of a bump is simultaneously roughened and
many prominences are formed. The formation of the prominences increases
the surface area of the upper face of the bump 10 and improves the
bonding between the bump of the semiconductor chip and the lead of the
film tape carrier.
