Patent ID: 8568822

Claim:
A method of fabrication comprising; forming a dielectric insulation layer over a passivation layer formed on a surface of a substrate having circuitry formed therein; forming a metal layer over the dielectric insulation layer; forming a layer of photosensitive material over the metal layer; forming a pattern with the photosensitive material to expose at least one region of the metal layer; removing the at least one exposed region of the metal layer using the pattern of photosensitive material as a mask, the removal of the at least one exposed region of the metal layer exposing at least one region of the dielectric insulation layer; removing the at least one exposed region of the dielectric insulation layer; and removing remaining photosensitive material from each remaining area of the metal layer for forming a structure to which a leadframe of an electronic package and an electronic component may be attached, wherein forming the structure comprises forming a bond pad to accept at least two bonds including a first bond to couple the structure to the electronic component and a second bond to couple the structure to a package lead of the leadframe of the electronic package, wherein the package lead is not formed over a surface of the substrate.
