Abstract: A method includes forming a metal seed layer over a first conductive feature of a wafer, forming a patterned photo resist on the metal seed layer, forming a second conductive feature in an opening in the patterned photo resist, and heating the wafer to generate a gap between the second conductive feature and the patterned photo resist. A protection layer is plated on the second conductive feature. The method further includes removing the patterned photo resist, and etching the metal seed layer.

Abstract: Methods for forming dummy under-bump metallurgy structures and semiconductor devices formed by the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first redistribution line and a second redistribution line over a semiconductor substrate; a first passivation layer over the first redistribution line and the second redistribution line; a second passivation layer over the first passivation layer; a first under-bump metallurgy (UBM) structure over the first redistribution line, the first UBM structure extending through the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer and being electrically coupled to the first redistribution line; and a second UBM structure over the second redistribution line, the second UBM structure extending through the second passivation layer, the second UBM structure being electrically isolated from the second redistribution line by the first passivation layer.
