Abstract

A semiconductor structure includes a first contact pad over an interconnect structure. The semiconductor structure further includes a second contact pad over the interconnect structure, wherein the second contact pad is electrically separated from the first contact pad. The semiconductor structure further includes a first buffer layer over the first contact pad, wherein the first buffer layer is partially over the second contact pad, and an edge of the second contact pad farthest from the first contact pad extends beyond the first buffer layer.
