Abstract
A semiconductor device comprising a substrate having a hollow cavity for mounting a semiconductor element therein and a lowered step surface at a periphery of the cavity for mounting a chip component thereon. A semiconductor element is mounted within the cavity and a chip capacitor is mounted to the lowered step surface. The semiconductor element and the chip component are adapted to be connected to an external circuit through electrical conductors. A cap is attached to the substrate and a seal material is filled into a space defined between the cap and the substrate for sealing the cavity and for encapsulating the chip component on the lowered step surface which may extend along the entire periphery of the cavity. The cap may include a projection adapted to abut gainst a side wall of the lowered step surface, or alternatively, the lowered step surface may include a side wall having a projection adapted to abut against periphery of the cap. The semiconductor device may further comprise a heat sink attached to the semiconductor element.
