Patent ID: 8269348

Claim:
An integrated circuit (IC) die, comprising: a substrate comprising active circuitry including a plurality of I/O nodes grouped in a first net and at least a second net, and a plurality of die pads including a first die pad coupled to said first net and a second die pad adjacent to said first die pad coupled to said second net; a first dielectric layer including first dielectric vias over said plurality of die pads; a redirect layer (RDL) including a plurality of RDL capture pads coupled to said plurality of die pads over said first dielectric vias, said RDL including a first RDL trace laterally coupling said first die pad to a first RDL capture pad and a second RDL trace laterally coupling said second die pad to a second RDL capture pad, wherein said first RDL capture pad includes a notch that faces said second RDL trace; a second dielectric layer including second dielectric vias over said plurality of RDL capture pads; under bump metallization (UBM) pads coupled to said plurality of RDL capture pads over said second dielectric vias including a first UBM pad on said first RDL capture pad, and metal bonding connectors on said UBM pads including a first metal bonding connector on said first UBM pad, wherein at least one of said first UBM pad and said first metal bonding connector include a portion that overhangs said first RDL capture pad over said notch.
