An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor chip comprising a plurality of dielectric layers, wherein the plurality of dielectric layers includes a top dielectric layer; and a first seal ring adjacent edges of the semiconductor chip. The integrated circuit structure further includes a first passivation layer over a top dielectric layer; and a trench extending from a top surface of the first passivation layer into the first passivation layer, wherein the trench substantially forms a ring. Each side of the ring is adjacent to a respective edge of the semiconductor chip. At least one of the plurality of vias has a width greater than about 70 percent of a width of a respective overlying metal line in the plurality of metal lines.
