Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a passivation layer overlying the semiconductor substrate, and an interconnect structure overlying the passivation layer. The interconnect structure includes a landing pad region and a dummy region electrically separated from each other. A protective layer is formed on the interconnect structure and has a first opening exposing a portion of the landing pad region and a second opening exposing a portion of the dummy region. A metal layer is formed on the exposed portion of landing pad region and the exposed portion of the dummy region. A bump is formed on the metal layer overlying the landing pad region.

Claim (Index 13):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a semiconductor substrate comprising circuitry and a plurality of inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layers and associated metal layers formed therein; a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) structure having an interconnect line region, a landing pad region and a plurality of dummy regions, wherein the interconnect line region and the landing pad region are contiguous conductive material and each of the plurality of dummy regions is electrically separated from the interconnect line region and the landing pad region; an under-bump-metallization (UBM) layer formed on the landing pad region; a metal layer formed on each of the plurality of dummy regions of the PPI structure to form a plurality of metal pillars each electrically separated from one another; a single bump on the UBM layer, wherein the plurality of metal pillars each being spaced a same distance from the single bump.
