ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; a first insulating film (third insulating film24) formed on the semiconductor substrate, having a first trench (second interconnect trench28), and having a composition ratio varying along the depth from an upper face of the first insulating film; and a first metal interconnect (second metal interconnect25) filling the first trench (second interconnect trench28). The mechanical strength in an upper portion of the first insulating film (third insulating film24) is higher than that in the other portion of the insulating film (third insulating film24).
