Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include interconnect structures and methods of forming interconnect structures. An embodiment is an interconnect structure including a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) over a first substrate and a conductive connector on the PPI. The interconnect structure further includes a molding compound on a top surface of the PPI and surrounding a portion of the conductive connector, a top surface of the molding compound adjoining the conductive connector at an angle from about 10 degrees to about 60 degrees relative to a plane parallel with a major surface of the first substrate, the conductive connector having a first width at the adjoining top surface of the molding compound, and a second substrate over the conductive connector, the second substrate being mounted to the conductive connector.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n forming a first bonding pad electrically connected to active devices of a substrate; forming a first passivation layer adjacent the substrate; forming a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) extending through the first passivation layer to contact the first bonding pad; forming a conductive connector electrically connected to the PPI; forming a molding compound around a first portion of the conductive connector, a first portion of a top surface of the molding compound adjoining the conductive connector at a first angle relative to a plane parallel with a major surface of the substrate; after the forming the molding compound, shaping the molding compound to increase the first angle; and bonding a second bonding pad to the conductive connector.
