Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first contact pad and a second contact pad over a first passivation layer, depositing a first buffer layer over the first contact pad and the second contact pad, and depositing a second buffer layer over the first buffer layer and the second contact pad. The first contact pad is in a circuit region and the second contact pad is in a non-circuit region. An edge of the second contact pad is exposed and a periphery of the first contact pad and an edge of the second contact pad are covered by the first buffer layer.
