    摘要: A customized seal ring for a semiconductor device is formed of multiple seal ring cells that are selected and arranged to produce a seal ring design. The cells include first cells that are coupled to ground and second cells that are not coupled to ground. The second cells that are not coupled to ground, include a higher density of metal features in an inner portion thereof, than the first seal ring cells. Dummy metal vias and other metal features that may be present in the inner portion of the second seal ring cells are absent from the inner portion of the first seal ring cells that are coupled to ground. The seal ring design may include various arrangements, including alternating and repeating sequences of the different seal ring cells.
