6. A semiconductor device having a semiconductor sensor chip in which a diaphragm is formed so as to detect pressure applied thereto due to displacement thereof said semiconductor device comprising:
a resin layer having an internal recess for arranging the semiconductor sensor chip having the diaphragm disposed thereon;
a stage having a rectangular shape, which is positioned below the semiconductor sensor chip and is sealed with the resin layer;
a plurality of external terminals whose first ends are connected to the stage and whose second ends are exposed and extend externally of the resin layer; and
a cover member, having conductivity, for covering the resin layer so as to form a space embracing the semiconductor sensor chip,
wherein the cover member is electrically connected to the plurality of external terminals and is placed substantially at a same potential as the stage.
