Abstract
The bonding conditions for bonding a semiconductor chip to a film substrate are controlled to allow an adhesive positioned right under the junction between the first connection terminal of the film substrate and the bump electrode of a semiconductor chip to be pushed out to form an opening in the adhesive layer. As a result, the junction between the first connection terminal and the bump electrode floats from the upper surface of the adhesive layer and supports the semiconductor chip in the floating state. It follows that is possible to prevent crack occurrence derived from the difference in thermal expansion coefficient in the junction between the first connection terminal and the bump electrode, thereby ensuring a good electrical connection.
