Abstract:
A connector structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The connector structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a metal layer, a passivation layer, and a conductive structure. The metal layer is over the semiconductor substrate. The passivation layer is over the metal layer and includes an opening. The conductive structure is in contact with the metal layer in a patterned surface structure of the conductive structure through the opening of the passivation layer.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising:\n forming metal material over a substrate; forming passivation material over the metal material; removing at least a portion of the passivation material to form openings, at least some of the openings exposing a patterned surface structure comprising portions of the passivation material; forming an under-bump metallurgy (UBM) material in the openings of the passivation material; and forming conductive structures comprising a solder material over the UBM material, the conductive structures extending at least partially into the openings of the passivation material, and in electrical contact with the metal material through the UBM material, the conductive structures in contact with substantially entire portions of the UBM material extending along upper surfaces and sidewalls of the patterned surface structure.
