A semiconductor device includes metal foil to which a ground potential is
applied, at a semiconductor constructing body provided on the metal foil
and having a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of external
connection electrodes provided on the semiconductor substrate. An
insulating layer is provided around the semiconductor constructing body
and has a thickness substantially equal to the semiconductor constructing
body. An one upper interconnecting layer is provided on the semiconductor
constructing body and insulating layer, and electrically connected to the
external connection electrodes. A vertical conducting portion extends
through the insulating layer and electrically connects the metal foil and
upper interconnecting layer.
