Abstract: Semiconductor packages may include a semiconductor chip on a substrate and an under-fill layer between the semiconductor chip and the substrate. The semiconductor chip may include a semiconductor substrate including first and second regions, and an interlayer dielectric layer that may cover the semiconductor substrate and may include connection lines. First conductive pads may be on the first region and may be electrically connected to some of the connection lines. Second conductive pads may be on the second region and may be electrically isolated from all of the connection lines. The semiconductor chip may also include a passivation layer that may cover the interlayer dielectric layer and may include holes that may expose the first and second conductive pads, respectively. On the second region, the under-fill layer may include a portion that may be in one of the first holes and contact one of the second conductive pads.

Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region, a gate stack on the peripheral region, an interlayer insulating layer on the gate stack, peripheral circuit interconnection lines on the interlayer insulating layer, and an interconnection insulating pattern between the peripheral circuit interconnection lines. The interconnection insulating pattern may include a pair of vertical portions spaced apart from each other in a first direction parallel to a top surface of the substrate and a connecting portion connecting the vertical portions to each other. Each of the vertical portions of the interconnection insulating pattern may have a first thickness at a same level as top surfaces of the peripheral circuit interconnection lines and a second thickness at a same level as bottom surfaces of the peripheral circuit interconnection lines. The first thickness may be substantially equal to the second thickness.
