Semiconductor wafer including semiconductor chips divided by scribe line and process-monitor electrode pads formed on scribe line
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a semiconductor wafer having a scribe line dividing the semiconductor wafer into a matrix of plural semiconductor chips. The semiconductor wafer includes a polysilicon layer, a poly-metal interlayer insulation film formed on the polysilicon layer, and a first metal wiring layer formed on the poly-metal interlayer insulation film. The semiconductor wafer includes a process-monitor electrode pad formed on a dicing area of the scribe line. The process-monitor electrode pad has a width greater than the width of the dicing area. The process-monitor electrode pad includes a contact hole formed in the poly-metal insulation film for connecting the first metal wiring layer to the polysilicon layer.
