Abstract:
In accordance with a method embodiment includes providing a die having a contact pad on a top surface and forming a conductive protective layer over the die and covering the contact pad. A molding compound is formed over the die and the conductive protective layer. The conductive protective layer is exposed using a laser drilling process. A redistribution layer (RDL) is formed over the die. The RDL is electrically connected to the contact pad through the conductive protective layer.

Claim (Index 15):
A device comprising:\n a contact pad over a substrate; a passivation layer over and covering edges of the contact pad; a conductive protective layer over the contact pad, the conductive protective layer comprising:\n a first portion comprising a first conductive material, the first conductive material extending through the passivation layer and being in physical contact with the contact pad; and \n a second portion over the first portion, the second portion comprising a second conductive material different from the first conductive material, the second conductive material extending along and being in physical contact with a top surface of the passivation layer; \n a molding compound extending along sidewalls of the substrate and the passivation layer; and a redistribution layer (RDL) over the substrate and the molding compound, a first portion of the RDL extending below a topmost surface of the molding compound and physically contacting the conductive protective layer.
