Abstract:
Methods of forming connector pad structures, interconnect structures, and structures thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of forming a connector pad structure includes forming an underball metallization (UBM) pad, and increasing a surface roughness of the UBM pad by exposing the UBM pad to a plasma treatment. A polymer material is formed over a first portion of the UBM pad, leaving a second portion of the UBM pad exposed.

Claim (Index 9):
The semiconductor device of  claim 8 , wherein the first connector pad and the second connector pad extend into a third insulating layer, wherein the first insulating layer is interposed between sidewalls of the first metallization pad and the third insulating layer and the second insulating layer is interposed between sidewalls of the second metallization pad and the third insulating layer.
