A semiconductor device includes: an interlayer insulating film formed on a substrate; a wiring formed in the interlayer insulating film in a chip region of the substrate; a seal ring formed in the interlayer insulating film in a periphery of the chip region and continuously surrounding the chip region; and a first protective film formed on the interlayer insulating film having the wiring and the seal ring formed therein. A first opening is formed in the first protective film in a region located outside the seal ring when viewed from the chip region, and the interlayer insulating film is exposed in the first opening.

Semiconductor device having seal wiring

A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; a first interlayer insulating film formed over the semiconductor substrate; a pad formed above the first interlayer insulating film; and a plurality of first interconnects spaced apart from each other in a portion of the first interlayer insulating film located below the pad. Below the pad, the first interconnects are formed in quadrangular plan shapes.

Semiconductor device having a pad and plurality of interconnects

A semiconductor device includes at least three or more wiring layers stacked in an interlayer insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, a seal ring provided at the outer periphery of a chip region of the semiconductor substrate and a chip strength reinforcement provided in part of the chip region near the seal ring. The chip strength reinforcement is made of a plurality of dummy wiring structures and each of the plurality of dummy wiring structures is formed to extend across and within two or more of the wiring layers including one or none of the bottommost wiring layer and the topmost wiring layer using a via portion.

Semiconductor device

Semiconductor device having sealing ring

A semiconductor chip, including: a substrate including an front surface; an integrated circuit formed on the front surface and including a plurality of semiconductor elements; and a heat-radiating plug formed in a region of the substrate corresponding to at least one of the semiconductor elements. The heat-radiating plug is made of a material having a thermal conductivity greater than that of the substrate formed in a non-penetrating hole having its opening on a reverse surface of the substrate.

Semiconductor chip and semiconductor device

Semiconductor device having pads and which minimizes defects due to bonding and probing processes

The present invention provides a semiconductor device that can suppresses poor connection caused by the variation of the heights of bumps during reflow heating, can be applied to a narrow array pitch, and can freely adjust the heights of the bumps.

Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

A semiconductor device includes: a circuit region having a function element formed on a semiconductor substrate; a scribe region located between the circuit region and another circuit region formed spaced from the circuit region, the scribe region including a cutting region and non-cutting regions provided at both sides of the cutting region; a first interlayer insulating film formed in the scribe region on the semiconductor substrate; a first dummy pattern made of conductive material and formed in the first interlayer insulating film in the cutting region; and a second dummy pattern made of conductive material and formed in the first interlayer insulating film in each of the non-cutting regions. The ratio, per unit area, of the area of the first dummy pattern to the area of the cutting region is lower than the ratio, per unit area, of the area of the second dummy pattern to the area of the non-cutting regions.
