In a semiconductor device, a lower multi-layered interconnect structure, an intermediate via-level insulating interlayer, and an upper multi-layered interconnect structure are stacked in this order in a region overlapped with a bonding pad in a plan view; upper interconnects and vias of the upper multi-layered interconnect structure are formed so as to be connected to the bonding pad in the pad placement region; the intermediate via-level insulating interlayer has no electro-conductive material layer, which connect the interconnects or vias in the upper multi-layered interconnect structure with interconnects or vias in the lower multi-layered interconnect structure, formed therein; and the ratio of area occupied by the vias in the via-level insulating interlayers contained in the lower multi-layered interconnect structure is smaller than the ratio of area occupied by the vias in the via-level insulating interlayers contained in the upper multi-layered interconnect structure. |
