There is provided a semiconductor device including a semiconductor chip
which includes a semiconductor substrate and a multilayer interconnection
structure formed thereon, the multilayer interconnection structure
including an interlayer insulating film smaller in relative dielectric
constant than an SiO.sub.2 film, an encapsulating resin layer which
covers a major surface of the semiconductor chip on a side of the
multilayer interconnection structure and covers a side surface of the
semiconductor chip, and a stress relaxing resin layer which is interposed
between the semiconductor chip and the encapsulating resin layer, covers
at least a part of an edge of the semiconductor chip on the side of the
multilayer interconnection structure, and is smaller in Young's modulus
than the encapsulating resin layer.
