Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a source/drain region, a source/drain contact and a conductive via and a first polymer layer. The source/drain region is in the semiconductor substrate. The source/drain contact is over the source/drain region. The conductive via is over the source/drain contact. From a top view, the conductive via has two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides connecting the long sides, and the short sides are shorter than the long sides and more curved than the long sides.
