Abstract
A semiconductor device with a BGA package includes a substrate made of a resin and having one side on which a number of solder ball terminals are formed and the other side on which a chip mounting portion electrically connected to the solder ball terminals is formed, and a cover plate made of a metal and attached to a semiconductor chip so as to cover and come into contact with it under a condition where the semiconductor chip is connected to the resin substrate by a flip-chip process. The cover plate includes a base brought into contact with the semiconductor chip and a peripheral portion formed with a plurality of bonding portions where the cover plate is bonded to the substrate. The bonding portions are discontinuous to each other.
