Abstract

Disclosed is an under bump metallization structure including a plurality of metal or metal alloy layers formed on chip bond pads with improved reliability due to a sacrificial metal oxide and the methods of making the under bump metallization structures. A barrier layer is formed over a bond pad. A seed layer is formed over the barrier layer. A bump resist pattern is formed exposing an area over the bond pad and a metal layer is electroplated on the seed layer.
