An alignment key structure in a semiconductor device is provided. The
alignment key structure includes an insulation layer formed on a
substrate, and a passivation layer pattern formed on the insulation
layer. The insulation layer includes a plurality of metal wirings. The
passivation layer pattern includes a first opening that exposes at least
one of the metal wirings. Moreover, the first opening has a width which
is narrower than a width of the exposed metal wiring.
