Provided is a semiconductor device including a substrate, an electrode pad
disposed on the substrate, an external terminal disposed on the electrode
pad, a container extended from the electrode pad into the external
terminal, and a conductive liquid disposed inside the container. The
conductive liquid solidifies when exposed to air. When a crack forms in
the external terminal, the container suppresses propagation of the crack.
Further, if the crack breaches the container, the conductive liquid fills
the crack, thereby minimizing further crack propagation and recovering
the resistance characteristics of the external terminal prior to the
crack formation. A method of forming a semiconductor device including a
container having a conductive liquid is also provided.
