Abstract
A semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip on a TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) tape with high reliability is provided. The semiconductor device of the present invention includes a TAB tape which has a base film provided with a device hole in a position where a semiconductor chip is mounted, a wiring pattern whose end portions constitute inner leads connected to the semiconductor chip and terminal connecting portions provided with solder balls, and a photo-solder resist which protects the wiring pattern. Chamfered portions which relieves internal residual stress caused in the photo-solder resist due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the base film and the photo-solder resist are formed at locations on the photo-solder resist facing the corners of the device hole.
