    摘要: A device (2) is formed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate (1). A passivation film (5) covers the main surface. A metallized pattern (6) is formed on the passivation film (5) and surrounds the device (2). A sealing metal layer (7) is formed on the metallized pattern (6) and includes a corner portion (10) in a planar view. A lid (8) is bonded to the metallized pattern (6) with the sealing metal layer (7) interposed therebetween and vacuum-seals the device (2). A dummy wiring (11) is softer than the metallized pattern (6), is formed at least between an outer portion of the corner portion of the sealing metal layer (7) and the semiconductor substrate (1), and does not electrically connected to the device (2).
