A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes preparing a semiconductor element including electrode pads laid out along the periphery of the semiconductor element in a tetragonal frame-shaped array to form a line of electrode pads along each side of the semiconductor element, preparing a wiring substrate including connection pads corresponding to the electrode pads, applying solder including a bulging central portion on an upper surface of each connection pad, forming pillar-shaped electrode terminals on the electrode pads so that each electrode terminal has an axis separated from a peak of the bulging central portion of the solder on the corresponding connection pad in a longitudinal direction of the corresponding connection pad, and electrically connecting the electrode terminals with the solder to the connection pad.
