Abstract
Electrode pads are formed on a surface of a semiconductor chip, a first bumps are provided on lower electrodes provided on the electrode pads, and second bumps are provided outside the first bumps. The semiconductor chip has a side wall on one end side in a stepped shape and the first bumps and the second bumps are provided to extend from the surface to a side surfaces of the stepped portion of the semiconductor chip. Also, outer surfaces of the second bumps are formed to project outside from the side surface of the semiconductor chip.
