A tape carrier of the present invention includes an insulating tape and a
wiring pattern formed on the insulating tape. The wiring pattern includes
a connecting section via which the wiring pattern is connected to a bump
electrode. The connecting section is provided at a part of an overlap
part of the wiring pattern, which overlap part overlaps a semiconductor
device when the semiconductor device is mounted on the wiring pattern.
The connecting section of the wiring pattern is smaller in wiring width
than the remaining part of the overlap part, which remaining part is
other than the connecting section.
