High-reliable semiconductor device using hermetic sealing of electrodes

摘要

The present invention relates to a high-reliable semiconductor device in which electrodes formed on substrates are prevented from deteriorating by sealing the electrodes with a frame member rather than a sealing material. The frame member in the present invention surrounds electrodes formed on the substrates. The inside of the frame member is vacuous or filled with a gas which does not react with the electrodes such as an inert gas and, thereby, the electrodes are prevented from deteriorating by attacks of oxygen or moisture.
