Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a substrate, a semiconductor element mounted on the substrate, a cap having an opening smaller than the external size of the semiconductor element for covering the semiconductor element to provide a hermetic seal, and a heatsink member mounted on the cap to cover the opening and to make contact with the semiconductor element via the opening, so that heat generated by the semiconductor element is conducted directly to the heatsink member. A method of producing the semiconductor device comprises the steps of mounting the semiconductor element on the substrate, covering the semiconductor element by the cap which is fixed to the substrate, and mounting the heatsink member on the cap to cover the opening and to make contact with the semiconductor element via the opening.
