Abstract
A semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention includes a semiconductor element chip pressed and secured on a distortion die-pad so that the semiconductor element chip, sealed inside a package, is held in a predetermined distorted state. The predetermined distorted state is preferably downward or upward warping. The semiconductor element chip operates normally in the distorted state, and does not operate normally when the semiconductor element chip is separated from the semiconductor device, and thereby released from the distortion and laid alone. This ensures that the semiconductor element chip is protected from circuit analysis.
