Abstract
A small semiconductor device close in size to a semiconductor chip which prevents warping of semiconductor chips or wafer and delamination of an interface from an interlayer insulating film, both caused by thermal stresses of a rewiring layer. The use of a Cu composite alloy containing 80 vol. % or less of Cu O, which alloy has a smaller linear thermal expansion coefficient and a smaller elastic modulus than those of pure copper, as a main material of the rewiring layer can reduce the thermal stresses in the rewiring layer, realizing a semiconductor device in which warping of semiconductor chips or wafer and delamination of layers will not easily occur.
