Abstract

A device includes a metal pad over a substrate. A passivation layer includes a portion over the metal pad. A post-passivation interconnect (PPI) is electrically coupled to the metal pad, wherein the PPI comprises a portion over the metal pad and the passivation layer. A polymer layer is over the PPI. A dummy bump is over the polymer layer, wherein the dummy bump is electrically insulated from conductive features underlying the polymer layer.
