Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: an active region having a semiconductor element and a surface electrode provided by a wiring electrode material and connected to the semiconductor element on a side adjacent to a surface of a semiconductor chip; and a pad arrangement region having a pad provided by the wiring electrode material. The pad arrangement region overlaps the active region in a direction normal to the surface of the semiconductor chip. In a part where the pad arrangement region and the active region overlap, the pad is disposed on the surface electrode through an isolation insulating film so that the wiring electrode material is in two layers to provide a double-layer wiring electrode structure. In a part of the active region without overlapping the pad arrangement region, the surface electrode has a single-layer wiring electrode structure composed of a single layer of the wiring electrode material.
