Abstract

Methods of forming connectors and packaged semiconductor devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a connector is formed by forming a first photoresist layer over an interconnect structure, and patterning the first photoresist layer with a pattern for a first portion of a connector. A first metal layer is plated through the patterned first photoresist layer to form the first portion of the connector which has a first width. A second photoresist layer is formed over the interconnect structure and the first portion of the connector. The second photoresist layer is patterned with a pattern for a second portion of the connector. A second metal layer is plated through the patterned second photoresist layer to form the second portion of the connector over the first portion of the connector. The second portion of the connector has a second width, the second width being less than the first width.
