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.
