Abstract
Herein disclosed is a semiconductor device having a semiconductor element, which is constructed to include a bonding pad for the semiconductor element formed selectively on one main side of a semiconductor layer, with a nitride film so formed on the main side of said semiconductor layer as to expose the surface of said bonding pad to the outside, and with a polyimide resin film formed on both said bonding pad and said nitride film. A sealing resin is formed to cover the surface portion of the bonding pad and the nitride film. This construction seals the semiconductor element from moisture, and prevents corrosion of the bonding pad due to said moisture.
Claims16
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a wiring layer having wiring and having a bonding pad on which a metal wire is to be bonded, the wiring of the wiring layer being directly connected to the bonding pad, the wiring layer being formed selectively on an insulating film overlying a main surface of a semiconductor substrate in which a desired circuit element is formed;
- a nitride film formed over said insulating film and said wiring layer and having a hole for exposing the surface of said bonding pad, said nitride film being formed on the peripheral portion of the bonding pad;
- a metal wire bonded to the surface of said bonding pad;
- and
- a sealing resin formed to cover said metal wire and said nitride film, said sealing resin forming a seal for the circuit element, to thereby provide a resin-sealed semiconductor device;
- further including a polyimide resin film sandwiched between said sealing resin and said nitride film, said polyimide resin film being formed on the peripheral portion of the bonding pad, the nitride film cooperating with the polyimide resin film to sufficiently prevent moisture from passing to the bonding pad so as to substantially prevent corrosion of the bonding pad due to the moisture, the nitride film and the polyimide resin film thereby protecting the peripheral portion of the bonding pad whereby a resin-sealed semiconductor device can be provided.
