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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein removing the at least a portion of the passivation material to form the patterned surface structure in the at least one opening comprises:\n applying a photoresist onto the passivation material; and performing lithography and etching the passivation material to form the at least one opening with a remaining portion of the passivation material as a supporting portion therein.
