Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a second insulating film formed on a second surface of a semiconductor substrate whose first surface has been formed with a first insulating film and an electrode pad, and an opening is made in a portion of the second insulating film directly below the electrode pad. By using the second insulating film as a mask, a through hole is formed in the semiconductor substrate in such a manner that the through hole recedes from an opening edge of the first insulating film. A third insulating film is formed only on the inner wall of the through hole.
