Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same
In a semiconductor device, corner portions of a inner insulating film are chamfered, and hence a damage is less likely to reach the corner portion of the inner insulating film, though the corner portion of an outer insulating film is damaged. Therefore, a hermeticity of a semiconductor element can be effectively maintained, and the yield of semiconductor pellets can be improved. Moreover, since it is not necessary to chamfer the corner portion of the outer insulating film, the structure remains simple and the productivity can be improved.
