Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: an element region having an element formed on a substrate; a moisture-resistant frame surrounding the element region and defining the element region; a periphery region being between an outer peripheral edge of the substrate and the moisture-resistant frame; an insulating layer provided over the moisture-resistant frame, the element region and the periphery region; a first metal line extending over the periphery region and provided in the insulating layer, the first metal line being separate from the moisture-resistant frame; a second metal line extending over the periphery region and provided in the insulating layer, the second metal line being disposed between the first metal line and the substrate; and a groove-shaped opening without being filled by a wire provided in the insulating layer, the groove-shaped opening being disposed over the first metal line, a bottom of the groove-shaped opening separating apart from the first metal line or reaching the first metal line wherein a position of a side face of the first metal line faced to the moisture-resistant frame accords a position of a side face of the second metal line faced to the moisture-resistant frame.
