Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a protective element on a substrate; a low-k dielectric film opposite the protective element and having mechanical strength smaller than a silicon oxide film; a mesh wiring opposite the protective element and in the low-k dielectric film, the mesh wiring including power supply wirings and ground wirings arranged in a mesh, the mesh wiring being electrically connected to the protective element; a silicon oxide film on the mesh wiring and the low-k dielectric film; and a bonding pad on the silicon oxide film and opposite the mesh wiring.

Claims (21)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a protective element, including a capacitor, located on a substrate;

a low-k dielectric film located opposite the protective element and having mechanical strength smaller than a silicon oxide film;

a mesh wiring located opposite the protective element and in the low-k dielectric film, the mesh wiring including power supply wirings and ground wirings arranged like a mesh, the mesh wiring being electrically connected to the protective element;

a silicon oxide film on the mesh wiring and on the low-k dielectric film; and

a bonding pad on the silicon oxide film and opposite the mesh wiring.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the power supply wirings and the ground wirings have a wiring width at least twice a wiring interval of the mesh wiring.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the mesh wiring reinforces the low-k dielectric film.

4. A semiconductor device comprising:

a low-k dielectric film on a substrate and having mechanical strength smaller than a silicon oxide film;

a mesh wiring in the low-k dielectric film and including power supply wirings and ground wirings arranged like a mesh, the power supply wirings including two mutually electrically insulated parts functioning as a capacitor;

a silicon oxide film on the mesh wiring and the low-k dielectric film; and

a bonding pad on the silicon oxide film.

5. A semiconductor device comprising:

a protective element selected from the group consisting of a diode and a transistor, and located on a substrate;

a low-k dielectric film located opposite the protective element and having mechanical strength smaller than a silicon oxide film;

a mesh wiring located opposite the protective element and in the low-k dielectric film, the mesh wiring including power supply wirings and ground wirings arranged like a mesh, the mesh wiring being electrically connected to the protective element;

a silicon oxide film on the mesh wiring and on the low-k dielectric film; and

a bonding pad on the silicon oxide film and opposite the mesh wiring.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the power supply wirings and the ground wirings have a wiring width at least twice a wiring interval of the mesh wiring.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the mesh wiring reinforces the low-k dielectric film.
