外に形成される。Generally, when forming a semiconductor device on a wafer, there are a plurality of mask alignment processes, and in order to align the positions of the masks used in each process, an alignment pattern is formed on the chip in the first manufacturing process. That is, alignment patterns one less than the number of masks used in the manufacturing process are formed outside the element forming area on the chip by, for example, an etching method.

導体装置の集積度の向上を阻害する欠点がある。As shown in FIG. 1, an element formation region 2, metal wiring 3, metal pads 4, and alignment patterns 5 are formed on a semiconductor substrate 1. Since the alignment pattern 5 is formed with a certain amount of space within the chip on the semiconductor substrate 1, it limits the degree of freedom in designing elements, etc., and impedes the improvement of the degree of integration of semiconductor devices. There are drawbacks to doing so.

An alignment pattern 5' is formed thereon. When the alignment pattern 5' is formed outside the chip in this way, flexibility in designing elements etc. is ensured, but the drawback is that a semiconductor device with an improved degree of integration cannot be obtained because the scribe lines become wider. There is.

を他に転用することが可能である。On the semiconductor substrate 1, an element formation region 2 and an alignment pattern 10 are formed outside the element formation region 2. Metal pads 4 and metal wiring 3 are formed on this alignment pattern 10. That is, the mission of the alignment pattern 10 ends when alignment with the mask is completed in each manufacturing process. Therefore, the space can be used for other purposes.

In this case, if necessary, an oxide film or the like is formed on the alignment pattern 10 other than the alignment pattern of the mask used when forming the metal pad 4 and the metal wiring 3 to flatten the metal pad 4 and the metal wiring 3. The leg pad 4 and the metal wiring 3 can be easily formed.

Since the space of the alignment pattern can be used for forming metal pads and metal wiring, the space of the alignment pattern can be placed anywhere outside the element formation area, that is, within the area where metal pads and metal wiring are formed. can be secured. Therefore, the layout of elements, metal pads, etc. can be freely performed without worrying about alignment patterns, reducing the number of design steps. Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a dedicated space for alignment patterns or wide scribe lines, the degree of integration is improved.
