Abstract
A semiconductor device of a TCP or COF configuration is provided, including semiconductor chips mounted on a tape, which realizes compact mounting of a plurality of semiconductor chips on a single tape. In order to so, a semiconductor chip having a lengthwise rectangular shape is mounted so as to have a long side substantially perpendicular to an extending direction of a Cu wiring pattern, thereby wiring numerous wires of the Cu wiring patterns substantially in parallel with each other, and substantially straight-line with respect to a destination of in/output. Further, in the mounting of the plurality of semiconductor chips, a tape width can be reduced so as to miniaturize devices to be connected.
