Abstract:
A method includes forming a passivation layer over a portion of a metal pad, forming a polymer layer over the passivation layer, and exposing the polymer layer using a photolithography mask. The photolithography mask has an opaque portion, a transparent portion, and a partial transparent portion. The exposed polymer layer is developed to form an opening, wherein the metal pad is exposed through the opening. A Post-Passivation Interconnect (PPI) is formed over the polymer layer, wherein the PPI includes a portion extending into the opening to connect to the metal pad.

Claim (Index 8):
The integrated circuit structure of  claim 1 , wherein the PPI pad further comprises a second portion over a planar surface of the polymer layer.
