Abstract

A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor die having an active surface, a passivation layer covering the active surface of the semiconductor die, and a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) layer disposed over the passivation layer. The PPI layer includes a ball pad having a first diameter. A polymer layer covers a perimeter of the ball pad. An under-bump-metallurgy (UBM) layer is disposed on the ball pad. The UBM layer has a second diameter that is greater than the first diameter of the ball pad. A solder ball is mounted on the UBM layer.
