Abstract

See full text

A conductive layer is formed at the step portion in a dicing line formed vertically and horizontally on a wafer and at a step portion of the region on which a test element for processing control formed inside of the dicing line or an alignment mark are formed, so as to completely cover the step portions. Since the conductive layer does not come off the step portions in subsequent steps, a short circuit of a wiring layer formed on a semiconductor chip region is prevented.
