Abstract: A semiconductor structure and its manufacturing method are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer on the substrate, a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, a seal ring structure including first and second interconnect structures, and a passivation layer on the seal ring structure and the second dielectric layer. The first interconnect structure is located in the first dielectric layer. The second interconnect structure is located in the second dielectric layer and connected to the first interconnect structure. The passivation layer has a spacer portion covering a sidewall of the second dielectric layer and a portion of the first dielectric layer. A ditch exists in the passivation layer and the first dielectric layer. The spacer portion is located between the ditch and the seal ring structure. The semiconductor structure is able to reduce time and power of an etching process for forming the ditch.

Abstract: An interconnection structure includes a first interconnection level, a second interconnection level, a third interconnection level, and a super via structure. The second interconnection level is disposed on the first interconnection level, and the third interconnection level is disposed on the second interconnection level. The second interconnection level includes a second conductive layer and a block layer disposed in a dielectric layer. A bottom surface of the block layer is lower than a top surface of the second conductive layer in a vertical direction. The block layer is disposed between a first conductive layer of the first interconnection level and a third conductive layer of the third interconnection level in the vertical direction. The super via structure penetrates through the block layer and the second interconnection level in the vertical direction and electrically connects the first conductive layer and the third conductive layer.
