Abstract:
A method includes forming a first conductive feature and a second conductive feature, forming a metal pad over and electrically connected to the first conductive feature, and forming a passivation layer covering edge portions of the metal pad, with a center portion of a top surface of the metal pad exposed through an opening in the metal pad. A first dielectric layer is formed to cover the metal pad and the passivation layer. A bond pad is formed over the first dielectric layer, and the bond pad is electrically coupled to the second conductive feature. A second dielectric layer is deposited to encircle the bond pad. A planarization is performed to level a top surface of the second dielectric layer with the bond pad. At a time after the planarization is performed, an entirety of the top surface of the metal pad is in contact with dielectric materials.

Claim (Index 8):
The device of  claim 1  further comprising a package component comprising:\n a surface dielectric layer bonded to the second dielectric layer; and \n a third bond pad and a fourth bond pad bonding to the first bond pad and the second bond pad, respectively.
