Abstract

A semiconductor chip with different chip pads and a method for forming a semiconductor chip with different chip pads are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises depositing a barrier layer over a chip front side, depositing a copper layer after depositing the barrier layer, and removing a part of the copper layer located outside a first chip pad region, wherein a remaining portion of the copper layer within the first chip pad region forms a surface layer of the chip pad. The method further comprises removing a part of the barrier layer located outside the first chip pad region.
