    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises non-quadrangular metal regions in the last metallization layer and/or non-quadrangular contact pads, wherein, in some illustrative embodiments, an interdigitating lateral configuration may be obtained and/or an overlap of the contact pads with underlying metal regions may be provided. Consequently, mechanical robustness of the contact pads and the passivation material under the underlying interlayer dielectric material may be increased, thereby suppressing crack formation and crack propagation.
