Abstract
A semiconductor wafer is disclosed for avoiding probed marks while testing. The wafer has a plurality of metal interconnects, each metal interconnect connecting underlying bonding pad, corresponding contact pad and test pad. Each contact pad being outer electrical connection terminal is connected in series by a metal interconnect between test pad and bonding pad, so that the section of the metal interconnect between bonding pad and contact pad enable be tested during probing the test pad. Furthermore, there is no probing mark on the contact pad.
