A semiconductor device includes a wiring board, a semiconductor chip, and a connecting member provided between a surface of the wiring board and a functional surface of the semiconductor chip. The connecting member extends a distance between the wiring board surface and the functional surface. A sealing material seals a gap space between the wiring board and the semiconductor chip. An electrode is formed at the wiring board surface and arranged outside of an outer periphery of the sealing material. A lateral distance between an outer periphery of the semiconductor chip and the outer periphery of the sealing material is between 0.1 mm and a lateral distance from the outer periphery of the semiconductor chip to the electrode.
