Abstract

The invention discloses a wafer structure for reducing damage of wafer cutting stress and a layout design method. The wafer structure comprises a high-density metal layer and an oxide passivation protection layer which is located above the high-density metal layer. The oxide passivation protection layer comprises a metal layer without graph connecting lines and a grinding cushion layer which is located above the metal layer without the graph connecting lines. The wafer structure further comprises an opening window and a metal fake component, wherein the opening window is arranged on the oxide passivation protection layer above characteristic graphs of the wafer structure, and the metal fake component is arranged on the metal layer without the graph connecting lines. According to the wafer structure for reducing the damage of the wafer cutting stress and the layout design method, large-energy stress crack is prevented from occurring when a wafer is cut, or a damage distance of the crack is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a wafer structure and layout design method for alleviating wafer cutting stress damage. Background technique [0002] In the existing CMOS process, when the pattern density of the layout (layout) in the dicing line, especially the density of the metal via / contact (MVIA / CONT) layer is high, and the area is large, when the chip is cut, it is easy to be caused by high Density of the metal connection gathers, resulting in a large area of ​​severe cracking during cutting, and at the same time causing a greater degree of cracking to the upper passivation protection layer (passivation). The stress failure can even break the chip protection ring (seal ring), and enter the customer chip, causing the chip to fail. This effect becomes more severe the closer to the corners of the chip. [0003] At present, there are two main methods commonly used in the industry to improve wafer ...
