Abstract:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a substrate which includes an active circuit region, and a boundary region surrounding the active circuit region, the boundary region including an edge portion of the substrate; a first lower conductive pattern disposed on the substrate of the boundary region; and a first upper conductive pattern connected to the first lower conductive pattern over the first lower conductive pattern, wherein the first upper conductive pattern includes a first portion having a first thickness, a second portion having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, and a third portion having a third thickness greater than the second thickness, and the third portion of the first upper conductive pattern is connected to the first lower conductive pattern, is provided.

Claim (Index 10):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a substrate including an active circuit region and a boundary region surrounding the active circuit region; a first fin type pattern on the substrate of the active circuit region; a gate electrode on the first fin type pattern; a pre-metal insulating layer on the first fin type pattern and the gate electrode; a first lower conductive pattern and a second lower conductive pattern at a first metal level on the pre-metal insulating layer and apart from each other, in the boundary region; a first upper conductive pattern at a second metal level higher than the first metal level and connected to the first lower conductive pattern; and a second upper conductive pattern at the second metal level, apart from the first upper conductive pattern, and connected to the second lower conductive pattern, wherein the first upper conductive pattern includes a first portion having a first thickness, a second portion having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, and a third portion having a third thickness greater than the second thickness, and the first portion of the first upper conductive pattern is between the second portion of the first upper conductive pattern and the third portion of the first upper conductive pattern.
