Abstract
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to corrosion resistant chip sidewall connections with crackstop structures with a hermetic seal, and methods of manufacture. The structure includes: a guard ring structure surrounding an active region of an integrated circuit chip; an opening formed in the guard ring structure; and a hermetic seal encapsulating the opening and a portion of the guard ring structure, the hermetic seal being structured to prevent moisture ingress to the active region of the integrated circuit chip through the opening.
