Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate including a chip area formed at an inward side of the semiconductor substrate when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the semiconductor substrate; an edge seal disposed around the chip area on the surface to protect the chip area; a plurality of pad pieces disposed on an edge region on the surface; and an insulating film pattern covering edge portions of the plurality of pad pieces at a side of the edge seal, at least at one side of the chip area on the surface in a first direction and at least at one side of the chip area on the surface in a second direction, wherein each of the semiconductor substrate and the chip area has a rectangular shape, the edge seal includes the plurality of pad pieces include the insulating film pattern includes wherein the plurality of first patterns cover the edge portions of the plurality of first pad pieces at a side of the first portion without covering an edge portion of the first portion at a side of the plurality of first pad pieces, and the plurality of second patterns cover the edge portions of the plurality of second pad pieces at a side of the second portion without covering an edge portion of the second portion at a side of the plurality of second pad pieces.
