A result of formation of an opening in a semiconductor substrate can be judged without cutting a semiconductor wafer and observing a cross-section of the cut wafer. A semiconductor device of this invention includes a semiconductor substrate, a pad electrode formed on the semiconductor substrate, an opening formed in the semiconductor substrate to expose the pad electrode, a wiring layer connected with the pad electrode through the opening and a monitoring opening formed in a scribe line to monitor a result of the formation of the opening.
