Abstract
A semiconductor device having a hermetically sealed package which includes a package substrate having a gold layer, an integrated-circuit chip attached to the gold layer, a terminal metal chip attached to the gold layer so as to ground the terminal metal chips leads, bonding wires, a cap, and glass layers for sealing the device. The terminal metal chip has a lower coating layer made of a gold-silicon type of alloy for attachment. The bond strength of the terminal metal chip is not decreased although a heat treatment is carried out to seal the glass.
