Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a plurality of interlayer insulating films; a seal ring formed within said interlayer insulating films in the vicinity of an edge of a semiconductor chip so as to surround a circuit formation region of said semiconductor chip; and a plurality of conductive members formed within said interlayer insulating film between a dicing cut surface of said semiconductor chip and said seal ring, wherein said conductive members are arranged along a plurality of columns in the plan view in such a manner that said conductive members form a zigzag arrangement where said conductive members that are arranged in adjacent columns are arranged alternately, said conductive members include a plurality of dummy vias, said interlayer insulting films include a first interlayer insulating film and a second interlayer insulating film formed on said first interlayer insulating film, said conductive members include: said dummy vias are formed within said second interlayer insulating film and connect said first dummy metal and said second dummy metal.
