A semiconductor device and a method for detecting cracks are provided. The semiconductor device includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer positioned above the first conductive layer, an isolation layer positioned between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and a transistor electrically coupled to the first conductive layer. The first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the insulating layer, and the transistor together form a crack detecting structure. |
