A semiconductor device includes: a package case in which a semiconductor
element is mounted, the package case having a bonding portion; a cap
having a bonding portion bonded to the bonding portion of the package
case so as to hermetically seal the semiconductor element; and one or
more bonding/sealing wires disposed between and in contact with the
bonding portion of the package case and the bonding portion of the cap
such that the one or more bonding/sealing wires form a closed loop and
hermetically seal the semiconductor element.
