Description
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device.
As semiconductor devices have recently been highly integrated, it is essential to use multilayer metal wiring. In addition, in order to improve the problem of RC delay of metal wiring caused by the integration of semiconductor devices, an insulating film having weakened mechanical / physical characteristics is used, thereby ensuring reliability as well as electrical characteristics of the metal wiring. It is becoming very important.
In the semiconductor device production process on a substrate, the metallization process belongs to the back end process (BEOL). In order to evaluate the electrical characteristics and the reliability of the wiring itself, it is possible to evaluate only the second half process (BEOL) without performing the front end process (FEOL) including the transistor fabrication process. However, the structure for evaluating the electrical characteristics of the metal wiring is wrapped in an insulating film and placed in an electrically floating state. For this reason, when the electrostatic discharge protection diode cannot be formed because the FEOL process is not performed, the electrostatic discharge (ESD) is very vulnerable in evaluating the electrical characteristics of the metal wiring. That is, the scale of the metal wiring becomes further smaller with the high integration of the semiconductor element. When electrostatic discharge is applied to the smaller metal wires as described above, defects occur in the metal wires by Joule heating.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is that, even when a resistor having a large resistance is connected to the structure for evaluating the metal wiring, and the electrostatic discharge protection element is not formed, the defect of the test wiring pattern before and after and during the evaluation of the metal wiring is prevented. It is to provide a semiconductor device that minimizes.
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
An aspect of the semiconductor device of the present invention for solving the above problems is a test wiring pattern, first wiring and second wiring connected to one side and the other side of the test wiring pattern, respectively, the first wiring and the first wiring A first pad electrically connected through a resistor, a second pad electrically connected through the second wire, and a second resistor; third wires and fourth wires branched from the first wire and the second wire, respectively; And a third pad electrically connected to the third wire, and a fourth pad electrically connected to the fourth wire.
