ABSTRACT:
A disclosed semiconductor apparatus includes a substrate, a first insulating layer formed on the substrate, the first insulating layer including a Cu wiring part, and a second insulating layer formed on the substrate, the second insulating layer including a Cu via plug part electrically connected to the Cu wiring part. The first insulating layer is a porous insulating film having an elastic modulus of 5 GPa or more and a hardness of 0.6 GPa or more, and the second insulating layer has an elastic modulus of no less than 10 GPa and a hardness no less than 1 GPa.
