Low stress bumps can be used to reduce stress and strain on bumps bonded to a substrate with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) from the die. The low stress bumps include multiple polymer layers. More than one type of bump is coupled to a die, with low stress bumps placed on areas subjected to high stress.

A semiconductor substrate is provided having a first metal layer formed over a first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed having a first damascene opening, the first opening having a second insulating layer portion formed therein. A resist layer is deposited to fill the first opening and the resist layer is thereafter patterned to form an etching mask for etching a second damascene opening. The second opening is etched into a portion of the second insulating layer, the second opening exposing a portion of the first metal layer. A second metal layer is formed to include filling the first and second damascene openings embedding the second insulating layer portion in the second metal layer. The second metal layer is planarized and a passivation layer is formed above the second insulating layer and the second metal layer, wherein the passivation layer partially covers the second metal layer.

A semiconductor device includes a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) structure having a landing pad region. A polymer layer is formed on the PPI structure and patterned with a first opening and a second opening to expose portions of the landing pad region. The second opening is a ring-shaped opening surrounding the first opening. A bump structure is formed on the polymer layer to electrically connect the landing pad region through the first opening and the second opening.
