Abstract

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.

Claims (23)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a wafer substrate;

a plurality of semiconductor elements disposed in a row on the wafer substrate;

a first insulating film provided on the wafer substrate so as to hermetically enclose each of the semiconductor element; and

a second insulating film provided on the wafer substrate so as to hermetically enclose the first insulating film;

wherein the first insulating film is of a polygonal plan-view shape with each corner chamfered.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second insulating film is of a polygonal plan-view shape with each corner chamfered.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

further comprising a bonding pad provided inside of the corner portion of the first insulating film;

wherein the bonding pad is of a polygonal plan-view shape that includes a chamfered portion formed at a position corresponding to the chamfered portion of the first insulating film.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first insulating film is of a rectangular plan-view shape with each corner portion chamfered.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first insulating film is constituted of a hydrophilic material; and

the second insulating film is constituted of a hydrophobic material.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first insulating film is constituted of an oxide film; and

the second insulating film is constituted of a nitride film.

7. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a plurality of semiconductor elements in a row on a surface of a wafer substrate, each on a region to be formed into a pellet;

forming a first insulating film in a polygonal plan-view shape with each corner portion chamfered, on the surface of the wafer substrate so as to hermetically enclose the semiconductor element; and

forming a second insulating film in a row, with the scribe region disposed between the second insulating films on the surface of the wafer substrate so as to hermetically enclose the first insulating film.
