Abstract

Some implementations provide a semiconductor device that includes a die, an under bump metallization (UBM) structure coupled to the die, and a barrier layer. The UBM structure has a first oxide property. The barrier layer has a second oxide property that is more resistant to oxide removal from a flux material than the first oxide property of the UBM structure. The barrier layer includes a top portion, a bottom portion and a side portion. The top portion is coupled to the UBM structure, and the side portion is substantially oxidized.
