Abstract
In a semiconductor device having a built-in contact-type sensor, a height of a surrounding part of a sensor part from the exposed surface of the sensor part is reduced. The semiconductor device has a semiconductor element having a built-in sensor. The semiconductor element has a circuit forming surface and a back surface opposite to the circuit forming surface. The contact-type sensor and electrodes are formed on the circuit forming surface. Back electrodes are formed on the back surface. Conductive members extend through the semiconductor device from the electrodes to the back electrodes. A protective film covers the circuit forming surface in a state where the surface of the contact-type sensor is exposed. External connection terminals are electrically connected to the back electrodes.
