1 .- 10 . (canceled) 11 . A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor element on a surface of a substrate; a second semiconductor element having a lower surface bonded to an upper surface of the first semiconductor element; a rubber-like silicone covering an upper surface and a side surface of the second semiconductor element; and a resin portion covering an outer surface of the rubber-like silicone and the first semiconductor element, wherein a thickness of the rubber-like silicone on the upper surface of the second semiconductor element is smaller than a thickness of the rubber-like silicone on the side surface of the second semiconductor element, the thicknesses being respectively measured along a direction normal to the upper surface of the second semiconductor element and the side surface of the second semiconductor element. 12 . The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , further comprising: a first gap between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion on the upper surface of the second semiconductor element; and a second gap between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion on the side surface of the second semiconductor element, wherein a spacing between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion in the first gap is less than a maximum width spacing between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion in the second gap. 13 . (canceled) 14 . The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein the outer surface of the rubber-like silicone is modified by plasma cleaning prior to application of the resin portion thereon. 15 . The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein the first semiconductor element includes a light receiving portion, the second semiconductor element includes a light emitting portion, and the light emitting portion faces the light receiving portion. 16 .- 20 . (canceled) 21 . The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion on the upper surface of the second semiconductor element are in contact with each other. 22 . The semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein the resin portion has a durometer-measured hardness greater than a durometer measured hardness of the rubber-like silicon. 23 . A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor element on a surface of a substrate; a second semiconductor element having a lower surface bonded to an upper surface of the first semiconductor element; a rubber-like silicone covering an upper surface and a side surface of the second semiconductor element; and a resin portion covering an outer surface of the rubber-like silicone and the first semiconductor element; a first gap between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion on the upper surface of the second semiconductor element; and a second gap between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion on the side surface of the second semiconductor element, wherein a spacing between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion in the first gap is less than a maximum width spacing between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion in the second gap. 24 . The semiconductor device according to claim 23 , wherein the outer surface of the rubber-like silicone is modified by plasma cleaning prior to application of the resin portion thereon. 25 . The semiconductor device according to claim 23 , wherein the first semiconductor element includes a light receiving portion, the second semiconductor element includes a light emitting portion, and the light emitting portion faces the light receiving portion. 26 . The semiconductor device according to claim 23 , wherein the resin portion has a durometer-measured hardness greater than a durometer measured hardness of the rubber-like silicon.
