Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor package includes depositing a passivation layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate includes a scribe line region positioned between a first chip region and a second chip region. The method further includes forming a bump overlying the passivation layer on at least one of the first chip region or the second chip region, wherein the bump comprises a copper pillar and a cap layer. The method further includes forming a groove passing through the passivation layer on the scribe line region, wherein the groove extends into the semiconductor substrate to expose a stepped sidewall of the semiconductor substrate. The method further includes applying a molding compound layer to cover the passivation layer and a lower portion of the bump and fill the groove. The method further includes singulating along the scribe line region.
