Abstract
In a BGA type semiconductor device wherein, while leaving a via hole for a solder ball, an insulating film formed of a photosolder resist (PSR) is provided on a tape substrate on its side where a wiring pattern is provided, a groove portion is provided between a bonding wire sealing portion and the via hole for a solder ball. The groove portion is a smaller-thickness portion of the insulating film provided as a part of the insulating film. By virtue of this construction, at the time of sealing of a wire bonding connection with a mold resin, the flow of the mold resin into the via hole for a solder ball can be prevented.
