Abstract

A resin molded type semiconductor device has a metallic ring that is formed to cover the peripheral edge of the surface of a tetragonal semiconductor substrate. In order to prevent a passivation film on the ring from being cracked by stresses due to a resin mold package concentrating in the four corners of the semiconductor substrate, slits or rows of small holes are formed in the corner portions of the ring.
