A routing layer for a semiconductor die is disclosed. The routing layer includes pads for attaching solder bumps; bond-pads bonded to bump-pads of a die having an integrated circuit, and traces interconnecting bond-pads to pads. The routing layer is formed on a layer of dielectric material.

Abstract:
A low elastic modulus layer (20) having an electrode arranging area that is formed by cutting the layer (20) for arranging element electrodes is provided on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate (10). Lands (32) which function as external electrodes are provided on the layer (20), and pads (30) on the element electrodes, lands (32), and metallic wirings (31) which connect the pads (30) and lands (32) to each other are integrated to constitute a metallic wiring pattern (33). Solder resist films (50) through which part of the lands (32) are opened are formed and metallic balls (40) are put on the lands (32) in the openings of the film (50). The layer (20) is constituted so that it absorbs stresses, such as the thermal stress generated when a semiconductor device is heated or cooled, and thus prevents the disconnection of the wiring (31).
