The invention is directed to a semiconductor device having a penetrating
electrode and a manufacturing method thereof in which reliability and a
yield of the semiconductor device are enhanced. A refractory metal layer
is formed on a pad electrode formed on a semiconductor substrate with a
first insulation film therebetween. Next, a passivation layer is formed
on a front surface of the semiconductor substrate including on the pad
electrode and on the refractory metal layer, and a supporting body is
further formed with a resin layer therebetween. Next the semiconductor
substrate is etched to form a via hole from a back surface of the
semiconductor substrate to the pad electrode. Next, a penetrating
electrode electrically connected with the pad electrode exposed at a
bottom of the via hole and a wiring layer 21 are formed with a second
insulation film therebetween. Furthermore, a solder resist layer and a
conductive terminal are formed. Finally, the semiconductor substrate is
cut and separated into semiconductor dies by dicing.
