Patent ID: 7262121

Claim:
A method of redistributing a bondpad location of an integrated circuit, comprising: providing an integrated circuit comprising an inner lead bondpad; forming a first insulative passivation layer over the integrated circuit; forming a bondpad-redistribution line over the first insulative passivation layer and in electrical connection with the inner lead bondpad through the first insulative passivation layer, the bondpad-redistribution line comprising an outer lead bondpad area, the bondpad-redistribution line comprising an elongated portion comprising opposing sidewalls extending from the outer lead bondpad area to the inner lead bondpad; and forming a second insulative passivation layer over the integrated circuit and the bondpad-redistribution line, the second insulative passivation layer being formed to have a sidewall outline at least a portion of which is proximate to and conforms to at least a portion of one of the sidewalls of the elongated portion of the bondpad-redistribution line.
