Abstract: A high withstand voltage semiconductor chip mounted on a package or a board is covered with a sealing resin, and the resin is cured while a high voltage is applied between at least one of electrode terminals connected from a chip electrode or the chip via wiring of wires or the like and another electrode that necessitates a dielectric withstand voltage between the electrode and the electrode terminal during the curing. The sealing resin is provided by a synthetic high molecular compound structured in a manner that an organic silicon polymer C is constituted by alternately linearly linking an organic silicon polymer A having a crosslinking structure of siloxane with an organic silicon polymer B having a linear link structure of siloxane (Si—O—Si bond) by siloxane bond and the polymers are three-dimensionally linked together by covalent bond.
