Abstract

The semiconductor device according to an aspect of the present invention is a semiconductor device having an electrode pad to be contacted a test probe for performing probe testing, a bonding area mark for defining a bonding area which performs wire boding on the electrode pad, and a probe area mark for defining a probe repair area for repairing or replacing the test probe for the electrode pad.

Claims (22)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

an electrode pad to be contacted by a test probe for performing probe testing;

a bonding area mark for defining a bonding area which performs bonding on the electrode pad; and

a probe area mark for defining a probe repair area for repairing or replacing the test probe for the electrode pad,

wherein the probe repair area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from the probe area mark in a direction parallel to a scribe line, and the bonding area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from the bonding area mark in the direction parallel to the scribe line, and

wherein in the electrode pad, probe damage of the test probe is formed in a direction tilted from the virtual line.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a region from an end portion of the electrode pad on an internal circuit side of the semiconductor chip to the virtual line in the probe area mark is defined as the probe repair area.

3. A semiconductor device comprising:

an electrode pad disposed in an INPUT/OUTPUT region of the semiconductor device; and

a probe area mark that defines a probe area for contacting a test probe to the electrode pad,

wherein the probe area mark is disposed away from the electrode pad,

wherein a probe repair area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from the probe area mark in a direction parallel to a scribe line, and the bonding area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from the bonding area mark in the direction parallel to the scribe line,

wherein in the electrode pad, probe damage of the test probe is formed in a direction tilted from the virtual line.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein a region from an end portion of the electrode pad on an internal circuit side of the semiconductor chip to the virtual line in the probe area mark is defined as the probe repair area.

5. A semiconductor device comprising:

an electrode pad; and

a probe area mark that defines a probe area for contacting a test probe to the electrode pad,

wherein the probe area mark is disposed away from the electrode pad,

a probe repair area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from the probe area mark in a direction parallel to a scribe line,

a bonding area of the electrode pad is defined based on a virtual line extending from a bonding area mark in the direction parallel to the scribe line, and

in the electrode pad, probe damage of the test probe is formed in a direction tilted from the virtual line.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein a region from an end portion of the electrode pad on an internal circuit side of a semiconductor chip to the virtual line in the probe area mark is defined as the probe repair area.
