The present invention provides a technique for improving the reliability of a semiconductor device where spreading of cracking that occurs at the time of dicing to a seal ring can be restricted even in a semiconductor device with a low-k film used as an interlayer insulating film. Dummy vias are formed in each layer on a dicing region side. The dummy vias are formed at the same intervals in a matrix as viewed in a top view. Even in the case where cracking occurs at the time of dicing, the cracking can be prevented from spreading to a seal ring by the dummy vias. As a result, resistance to moisture absorbed in a circuit formation region can be improved, and deterioration in reliability can be prevented.

A method was achieved for forming a multilayer passivation layer comprised of a silicon oxide / silicon nitride / silicon oxide / silicon nitride by depositing the layers consecutively in a single PECVD system. The method consists of depositing a first SiO2 layer that serves as a stress-release layer, a thin Si3N4 layer that serves as a buffer layer that minimizes cracking and as a passivation layer that prevents mobile alkaline ion penetration, a thin second SiO2 layer to fill and seal any remaining cracks and pinholes in the first Si3N4 layer, and a main Si3N4 passivation layer that prevents water and / or other corrosive chemicals from attacking the metal. Since this multilayer passivation layer can be deposited essentially pinhole-free to a thickness that is less than the prior art's passivation layer of 8000 Angstroms needed to prevent pinholes, it can be used on 0.38 to 0.25 um DRAM technology, which eliminates voids that could otherwise trap photoresist which can later cause corrosion of the metal lines.

Use of Pb-free solder has become essential due to the environmental problem. A power module is formed by soldering substrates with large areas. It is known that in Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu which hardly creeps and deforms with respect to large deformation followed by warpage of the substrate, life is significantly shortened with respect to the temperature cycle test, and the conventional module structure is in the situation having difficulty in securing high reliability.

Further, for enhancement of reliability, a method for partially coating a solder end portion with a resin is shown.
