Abstract

Disclosed is a display driving chip of a semiconductor chip. According to an embodiment, the display driving chip comprises, input/output (I/O) pads each electrically connected to a lower interconnection on an active area, the I/O pads forming a perimeter on an inner peripheral surface of the active area, and dummy pads formed on the active area within the perimeter of I/O pads.

Claims (25)

1. A display driving chip, comprising:

input/output (I/O) pads each electrically connected to a lower interconnection on an active area, wherein the I/O pads form a perimeter on an inner peripheral surface of the active area; and

dummy pads on the active area within an inner peripheral surface of the perimeter of I/O pads.

2. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy pads are not electrically connected to the lower interconnections on the active area.

3. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein the I/O pads and the dummy pads each have a dual structure comprising a first metal pad and a second metal pad.

4. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein an interval between each I/O pad and each dummy pad is in a range of 10 λm to 500 μm.

5. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein the I/O pads each comprise:

a first metal pad connected to the lower interconnection on a semiconductor substrate;

at least one via on the first metal pad; and

a second metal pad on the via.

6. The display driving chip according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one via has a Y shape.

7. The display driving chip according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one via has a height of 0.1 μm to 20 μm between the first metal pad and the second metal pad.

8. The display driving chip according to claim 6 , wherein the length of one branch of the at least one Y-shaped via is 0.1 μm to 100 μm.

9. The display driving chip according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one via comprises Cu, AlCu, W, Ti, Ta or Co.

10. The display driving chip according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one via has an area ratio of 1% to 80% with respect to an area of the first and second metal pads.

11. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein the dummy pad comprises:

a first metal pad on an interlayer dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate;

at least one via on the first metal pad; and

a second metal pad on the via.

12. The display driving chip according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one via has a Y shape.

13. The display driving chip according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one via has a height of 0.1 μm to 20 μm between the first metal pad and the second metal pad.

14. The display driving chip according to claim 12 , wherein the length of one branch of the at least one Y-shaped via is 0.1 μm to 100 μm.

15. The display driving chip according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one via comprises Cu, AlCu, W, Ti, Ta or Co.

16. The display driving chip according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one via has an area ratio of 1% to 80% with respect to an area of the first and second metal pads.

17. The display driving chip according to claim 1 , wherein the I/O pads and the dummy pads each comprise Cu, AlCu, W, Ti, Ta or Co.
