The principle of connection between the protruding electrode 15 and the substrate electrode 14 of this semiconductor device will be described with reference to FIG. (Figure 2
(A)) shows the force near the protruding electrode 15 when the semiconductor element 16 is pressurized (FIG. 1 (b)) in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It shows how to join. The load pressing the semiconductor element 16 is applied to the insulating film 12 that is softer than the protruding electrode 15 via the protruding electrode 15 and the rollable substrate electrode 14. Since the insulating film 12 is softer and more easily deformed than the protruding electrode, it is deformed in a concave shape. At this time, the force applied from the protruding electrode 15 to the insulating film 12 is divided into a force f2 directly applied in the pressing direction and a force f1 for pushing the insulating film 12 horizontally to deform it. Further, forces F1 and F2 from the insulating film 12 are generated as repulsive forces of those forces. At this time, F2 is the repulsive force of the load F0, and the following equation is established.

F1 = f1 F2 = f2 = F0 (Equation 1) The insulating film 12 under the bump electrode 15 before pressing is extruded in the horizontal direction due to plastic deformation or the like. 12 rises slightly. Then, a horizontal elastic recovery force F1 acting to recover the deformation acts on the insulating film 12.

Therefore, after the pressure is released (FIG. 2B)
Is F2 = f2 = F0 = 0, and only F1 and f1 are applied to the bump electrode 15 and the insulating film 12. The reason why the electrical connection is maintained after the pressure is released is due to the elastic recovery force of F1 and f1. When the insulating film 12 is a polyimide film, the pressure applied to the bump electrode 15 is about 15 mg / μm 2 or more in order to cause the insulating film 12 to undergo plastic deformation.

In one embodiment of the present invention (FIG. 2), when the temperature is high, the protruding electrodes 15 and the insulating film 12 tend to expand due to thermal expansion, and the elastic recovery force F1, f1 increases. Therefore, at a high temperature, the electrical connection tends to be maintained. Therefore, the connection failure due to the expansion of the insulating resin, which occurs at a high temperature as described in the conventional example, does not occur.

If the protruding electrode 15 and the substrate electrode 16 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are made of the same metal and metal-bonded, the contact resistance becomes smaller and the connection reliability at high temperatures is improved.

Shown in In the second embodiment of the present invention, the projecting electrode 15 is formed in a columnar or polygonal column shape, and the sectional structure of the projecting electrode 15 is made trapezoidal as shown in FIG. The configuration is such that the length of the bottom side on the wiring electrode 14 side is longer than the length of the upper side on the element 16 side. Insulating film 12 deformed concavely in the case of the first embodiment
In the case of the second embodiment, is deformed into a trapezoid so as to follow the shape of the bump electrode 15, and the elastic recovery force F1 of the insulating film 12 is applied not only in the horizontal direction but also slightly in the direction toward the substrate 11. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the resistance force when the projecting electrode 15 tries to escape upward acts not only on the frictional force between the projecting electrode 15 and the substrate electrode 14, but also on the vertical direction of the insulating film 12. Direction elastic recovery force is applied. That is, the opportunity strength at which the semiconductor element 16 is fixed to the substrate 11 increases.
