A semiconductor chip includes a substrate including: a main chip region; and a scribe lane surrounding the main chip region; a lower interlayer insulating layer disposed on the substrate in the scribe lane; a circuit structure disposed on the lower interlayer insulating layer in the scribe lane; and a pad structure disposed on the lower interlayer insulating layer. The circuit structure and the pad structure are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the scribe lane.

Chip including a scribe lane

A semiconductor chip including an alignment pattern is provided. The semiconductor chip includes a substrate associated with a main chip region of a semiconductor wafer and including a scribe lane. A lower interlayer insulating layer is disposed on the substrate, a low-K layer including dummy metal patterns is disposed on the lower interlayer insulating layer, an alignment pattern is disposed on the low-K layer, and a passivation layer covers the alignment pattern.

Semiconductor chip including alignment pattern

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes: a substrate which includes a semiconductor chip region and a scribe line region surrounding the semiconductor chip region; an insulating film arranged over the semiconductor chip region and the scribe line region on the substrate, and including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface, and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface and connecting the first surface and the second surface; and an opening portion formed on the second surface of the insulating film and the fourth surface of the insulating film to expose the substrate, wherein the opening portion is formed in the scribe line region, and the first surface of the insulating film and the third surface of the insulating film do not include an opening portion which expose the substrate.
