    Abstract: A detection pad structure in a semiconductor device may include a lower wiring on a substrate, an upper wiring on the lower wiring, and a first pad pattern on the upper wiring. The upper wiring may be connected to the lower wiring and include metal patterns and via contacts on the metal patterns that are stacked in a plurality of layers. The first pad pattern may be connected to the upper wiring. A semiconductor device may include an actual upper wiring including actual metal patterns and actual via contacts stacked in a plurality of layers. At least one of the metal patterns of each layer in the upper wiring may have a minimum line width and a minimum space of the metal patterns of each layer in the actual upper wiring. Metal patterns and via contacts of each layer in the upper wiring may be regularly and repeatedly arranged.
