A semiconductor device includes: multiple kinds of interlayer insulating
films formed on a semiconductor substrate and having different elastic
moduli, respectively; a metal pad arranged on said multiple kinds of
interlayer insulating films; the interlayer insulating film of a low
elastic modulus having the lowest elastic modulus and having an opening
located under the metal pad, the interlayer insulating film of a not-low
elastic modulus having the elastic modulus larger than the elastic
modulus of the interlayer insulating film of the low elastic modulus,
being layered in contact with the interlayer insulating film of the low
elastic modulus, and continuously extending over the opening and a region
surrounding the opening and a metal interconnection layer arranged under
the metal pad, filling the opening in the interlayer insulating film of
the low elastic modulus, and being in contact with the interlayer
insulating film of the not-low elastic modulus.
