In a pad forming region electrically connecting an element forming region
to the outside, in which a low dielectric constant insulating film is
formed in association with in the element forming region, a Cu film
serving as a via formed in the low dielectric constant insulating film in
the pad forming region is disposed in higher density than that of a Cu
film serving as a via in the element forming region. Hereby, when an
internal stress occurs, the stress is prevented from disproportionately
concentrating on the via, and deterioration of a function of a wiring
caused thereby can be avoided.
