ABSTRACT:
In a semiconductor device having a Low-k film as an interlayer insulator, peeling of the interlayer insulator in a thermal cycle test is prevented, thereby providing a highly reliable semiconductor device. In a semiconductor device having a structure in which interlayer insulators in which buried wires each having a main electric conductive layer made of copper are formed and cap insulators of the buried wires are stacked, the cap insulator having a relatively high Young's modulus and contacting by its upper surface with the interlayer insulator made of a Low-k film having a relatively low Young's modulus is formed so as not to be provided in an edge portion of the semiconductor device.
