Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preventing micro cracks of an inter level dielectric caused from a stress applied to a bonding pad when bonding in a process of semiconductor. SOLUTION: The inner level dielectric IL3 between metal layers Mn, Mn-1 is strengthened by a conductive via pattern 110 between the metal interconnecting layer Mn in a region of the bonding pad and the lower metal interconnecting layer Mn-1. The conductive via layer 110 includes, for example, a grid of a parallel rail or a cross hatch rail. The conductive via layer 110 prevents the micro crack caused from the stress applied to the bonding pad 112 by dispersing the stress concentration laterally.
