Semiconductor device having superior resistance to moisture

摘要

In a semiconductor device, a circuit unit is formed in an inside portion, and seal rings that enclose the inside portion that are composed of walls of metal layers are formed around the periphery. In the corners, the seal rings include linear parts that extend inwardly in addition to the linear parts that extend along the periphery, whereby the seal rings are formed in a planar pattern having small rectangular planar patterns in each corner.
