20100117081SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE FOR DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A semiconductor integrated circuit device for driving an LCD, COG chip packaging is performed. To achieve this, an elongate and relatively thick gold bump electrode is formed over an aluminum-based pad having a relatively small area. In a wafer probe test performed after formation of the gold bump electrode, a cantilever type probe needle having gold as a main component and having an almost perpendicularly bent tip portion is used. The diameter of this probe needle in the vicinity of its tip is usually almost the same as the width of the gold bump electrode. This makes it difficult to perform the wafer probe test stably. To counteract this, a plurality of bump electrode rows for outputting a display device drive signal are formed such that the width of inner bump electrodes is made greater than the width of outer bump electrodes.05-13-2010
