Patent ID: 8680681

Claim:
A semiconductor chip, comprising: at least one integrated circuit device; and a composite bond pad that is electrically connected to said at least one integrated circuit device, said composite bond pad comprising: a first bond pad portion having a first upper surface that corresponds to a first surface area that is defined by a first substantially regular geometric shape when viewed from above, wherein said first substantially regular geometric shape has a first area centroid that is located at a first distance from a center of said semiconductor chip; and a second bond pad portion positioned above said first upper surface of said first bond pad portion, said second bond pad portion having a second upper surface that extends above said first upper surface and corresponds to a second surface area that is defined by at least a part of a second substantially regular geometric shape when viewed from above, wherein said at least said part of said second substantially regular geometric shape has a second area centroid that is located at a second distance from said center that is greater than said first distance.
