Abstract:
A method includes forming a first dielectric layer over a conductive pad, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, and etching the second dielectric layer to form a first opening, with a top surface of the first dielectric layer exposed to the first opening. A template layer is formed to fill the first opening. A second opening is then formed in the template layer and the first dielectric layer, with a top surface of the conductive pad exposed to the second opening. A conductive pillar is formed in the second opening.

Claim (Index 20):
The structure of  claim 16  further comprising an additional dielectric layer under and contacting the first dielectric layer, wherein the conductive pillar penetrates through the bottom portion of the dielectric liner and the additional dielectric layer.
