Abstract:
A semiconductor device and method of manufacturing is provided, whereby a support structure is utilized to provide additional support for a conductive element in order to eliminate or reduce the formation of a defective surface such that the conductive element may be formed to have a thinner structure without suffering deleterious structures.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a first redistribution layer over a substrate; a protective layer over the first redistribution layer, the protective layer comprising a first material; a first conductive material extending through a first opening in the protective layer to make electrical connection with the first redistribution layer, the first conductive material having a first thickness over the protective layer of less than about 3 \u03bcm; and a support structure located between the first conductive material and the first redistribution layer, wherein the support structure comprises the first material and is centered to the first conductive material is a top down view.
