Abstract:
A method of forming bond pads includes providing a substrate including an integrated circuit (IC) device formed thereon having an oxidizable uppermost metal interconnect layer which provides a plurality of bond pads that are coupled to circuit nodes on the IC device. The plurality of bond pads includes a metal bond pad area. A cobalt including connection layer is deposited directly on the metal bond pad area. The cobalt including connection layer is patterned to provide a cobalt bond pad surface for the plurality of bond pads, and a solder material is formed on the cobalt bond pad surface.

Claim (Index 11):
The IC of  claim 10 , wherein said substrate further includes at least one patterned passivation layer defining a trench including dielectric sidewalls above said metal bond pad area, and wherein said cobalt comprising connection layer extends directly over said dielectric sidewalls onto said passivation layer to completely cap said metal bond pad area.
