Abstract
Abstract A pressure-applied type semiconductor device, in which a metal stamp for urging a semiconductor body is formed with a peripheral annular groove. When pressure is applied, the groove is elastically deformed. Thus, stress concentration in the semiconductor body directly under the edge of the metal stamp can be alleviated.
