Abstract
Abstract A millimeter wave semiconductor device is comprised of a millimeter wave device, a wiring substrate with the millimeter wave device mounted thereto, and a sealing cap with a conductor on a surface thereof for sealing the millimeter wave device. The sealing cap has a ground potential at the conductor provided on the surface thereof and the sealing cap has an internal surface spaced from an upper surface of the wiring substrate by less than one fourth of a spatial wavelength of a frequency applied. This can prevent creation of a waveguide mode in a sealed space and as a result provide a miniature millimeter wave semiconductor device which can have good RF characteristics in a space sealed by a conductive cap for electromagnetic shielding and can also readily be applied to a variety of packages associated with various product types.
