Abstract

A semiconductor device with under bump metallurgy (UBM) and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device are provided, wherein a passivation layer is deposited on a surface of the semiconductor device where a plurality of bond pads are disposed, and formed with a plurality of openings for exposing the bond pads. A first metal layer is deposited over part of each of the bond pads and a portion of the passivation layer around the bond pad; then, a second metal layer is formed over the first metal layer and part of the bond pad uncovered by the first metal layer; subsequently, a third metal layer is formed over the second metal layer to thereby fabricate a UBM structure. Finally, a solder bump is formed on the UBM structure so as to achieve good bondability and electrical connection between the solder bump and UBM structure.
