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 16):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n an integrated circuit die comprising a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side comprising a plurality of contact pads; a molding material along sidewalls of the integrated circuit die; a first interconnect structure on the first side of the integrated circuit die, the first interconnect structure comprising a plurality of first metallization pads, each of the plurality of first metallization pads comprising an upper surface having an average surface roughness between approximately 0.18 \u03bcm to approximately 0.25 \u03bcm; a second interconnect structure on the second side of the integrated circuit die, the second interconnect structure comprising a plurality of second metallization pads, wherein at least one of the plurality of second metallization pads is electrically coupled to a conductive feature in the first interconnect structure by a through via extending through the molding material; a plurality of first connectors, each of the plurality of first connectors disposed over the upper surface of respective ones of the plurality of first metallization pads; and a plurality of second connectors, each of the plurality of second connectors disposed over respective ones of the plurality of second metallization pads.
