1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a bonding pad that is an electric coupling for an external circuit, said bonding pad having at least one metal area and a plurality of insulating areas with a plurality of interfaces therebetween;
an insulating film disposed on said bonding pad, said insulating film having an opening exposing at least part of said metal area, said insulating film covering all of said plurality of interfaces closest to a center of said opening; and
a diffusion barrier film on said bonding pad beneath said insulating film.
