A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention
includes a semiconductor substrate; a wiring formed in predetermined
pattern above the semiconductor substrate, a first insulating film lying
right under the wiring, and a second insulating film lying in a
peripheral portion other than a portion right under the wiring, in which
a surface layer of the first insulating film lying in a boundary surface
between the first insulating film and the second insulating film is
chemically modified to reinforce the surface layer.
