Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a layered structure having a hard dielectric layer containing a first dielectric material having a Young's modulus greater than 10 GPa in a central portion of a main surface of a main body comprising a single crystalline semiconductor body, and providing a dielectric stress relief layer containing a second dielectric material having a lower Young's modulus than the first dielectric material, the stress relief layer covering the layered structure and extending beyond an outer edge of the layered structure.
