Abstract

The invention provides a bonding pad structure. At least one lower circuit layer is disposed overlying the substrate, wherein the lower circuit layer is a layout of circuit under pad. A top circuit layer is disposed overlying the lower circuit layer, wherein the top circuit layer comprises a top interconnect dielectric layer and a top interconnect pattern in the top interconnect dielectric layer. A top connecting layer is disposed overlying the top circuit layer, electrically connecting the top interconnect pattern. A top pad layer is disposed overlying the top connecting layer. A bonding ball is disposed overlying the top pad layer, wherein sides of the top interconnect pattern do not overlap a region extending inwardly and outwardly from a boundary of the bonding ball within distance of about 2.5μm.
