Abstract
A tape carrier package includes a semiconductor chip including a first row of electrode bumps formed on a surface of a semiconductor chip and a second row of electrode bumps formed on the surface of the semiconductor chip parallel to the first row. The tape carrier package also includes an insulating film, at least a portion of the insulating film being formed on the semiconductor chip, a conductor pattern including a first lead section formed on the insulating film and connectable to an external device and a second lead section extending from the first lead section so as to electrically connect to the first and second rows of electrode bumps. At least a part of the first lead section is positioned on the semiconductor chip. A sealing resin is provided for sealing at least a junction between the first and second rows of electrode bumps and the second lead section.
