Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) devices on the semiconductor substrate, and forming a seal ring structure surrounding each of the IC devices. Forming the seal ring structure includes forming a plurality of interlayer dielectric layers on the semiconductor substrate, and forming a plurality of hollow through-hole structures within each of the interlayer dielectric layers.
