Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a passivation layer overlying the semiconductor substrate, and an interconnect structure overlying the passivation layer. The interconnect structure includes a landing pad region and a dummy region electrically separated from each other. A protective layer is formed on the interconnect structure and has a first opening exposing a portion of the landing pad region and a second opening exposing a portion of the dummy region. A metal layer is formed on the exposed portion of landing pad region and the exposed portion of the dummy region. A bump is formed on the metal layer overlying the landing pad region.

Claim (Index 18):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a semiconductor substrate comprising circuitry and a plurality of metal layers formed between dielectric layers operable to route electrical signals formed therein; a passivation layer overlying the semiconductor substrate; an interconnect structure overlying and interfacing a top surface of the passivation layer, the interconnect structure comprising a first landing pad conductive element and a first plurality of dummy conductive elements electrically separated from each other and electrically separated from the first landing pad conductive element; a polymer layer disposed over the interconnect structure; a first plurality of metal pillars each disposed in an opening in the polymer layer, wherein the first plurality of metal pillars are electrically separated from each other and electrically separated from the first landing pad conductive element; a first bump electrically connected to the first landing pad conductive element, wherein the first plurality of metal pillars surrounds the first bump in a plan view.
