Abstract: A semiconductor substrate may include a plurality of semiconductor chips and a protection pattern. The semiconductor chips may be divided by two scribe lanes intersecting each other. Corners of the semiconductor chips may be disposed at the intersection of the two scribe lanes. The protection pattern may be arranged at the intersection of the scribe lanes to surround the corners of the semiconductor chips. Thus, the corners of the semiconductor chips may be protected by the protection pattern form colliding with each other in a following grinding process.

Abstract: Disclosed are wafer structures and semiconductor devices. A semiconductor device may include a substrate and a cell array structure on the substrate. The substrate may include a device region and a dummy region surrounding the device region in a plan view. The cell array structure may include a plurality of first dielectric layers, a plurality of gate structures, a vertical channel structure, and a dummy pattern. The vertical channel structure may be on the device region and may penetrate the plurality of gate structures and the plurality of first dielectric layers. The cell array structure includes an outer sidewall above an edge of the substrate and a recessed portion on the outer sidewall of the cell array structure. The dummy pattern may cover a sidewall of the recessed portion and a bottom surface of the recessed portion. The dummy pattern and vertical channel structure may include a same material.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip on a substrate. The semiconductor chip includes an active region, and a scribe lane in continuity with an edge of the active region. A non-conductive film (NCF) is between the substrate and the semiconductor chip, the non-conductive film (NCF) at least partially defines a recess region overlapping with the scribe lane in plan view and extending on the active region.
