Abstract

A chip structure is provided. The chip structure includes a substrate. The chip structure includes an interconnect structure over the substrate. The chip structure includes a conductive pad over the interconnect structure. The chip structure includes a passivation layer covering the interconnect structure and exposing the conductive pad. The chip structure includes a first etch stop layer over the passivation layer. The chip structure includes a first buffer layer over the first etch stop layer. The first etch stop layer and the first buffer layer are made of different materials. The chip structure includes a second etch stop layer over the first buffer layer. The second etch stop layer and the first buffer layer are made of different materials. The chip structure includes a device element over the second etch stop layer.
