Methods and apparatuses for forming an under-bump metallization (UBM) pad above a dielectric layer are disclosed. The dielectric layer may be above a metal layer and comprises a first opening and a second opening surrounding the first opening, which divide the dielectric layer into a first area and a second area. An UBM pad extends into and fills the first opening of the dielectric layer, above the first area between the first opening and the second opening, and may further extends down at least partly into the second opening covering a part or the whole of the second opening of the dielectric layer. The UBM pad may further extend over a part of the second area of the dielectric layer if the UBM pad fills the whole of the second opening of the dielectric layer. A solder ball may be mounted on the UBM pad.

A routing layer for a semiconductor die is disclosed. The routing layer includes pads for attaching solder bumps; bond-pads bonded to bump-pads of a die having an integrated circuit, and traces interconnecting bond-pads to pads. The routing layer is formed on a layer of dielectric material. The routing layer includes conductive traces at least partially surrounding some pads so as to absorb stress from solder bumps attached to the pads. Parts of the traces that surround pads protect parts of the underlying dielectric material proximate the solder bumps, from the stress.

A technique capable of improving reliability of a semiconductor device is provided. In the present invention, as a wiring board on which a semiconductor chip is mounted, a build-up wiring board is not used but a through wiring board THWB is used. In this manner, in the present invention, the through wiring board formed of only a core layer is used, so that it is not required to consider a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between a build-up layer and the core layer, and besides, it is not required either to consider the electrical disconnection of a fine via formed in the build-up layer because the build-up layer does not exist. As a result, according to the present invention, the reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved while a cost is reduced.

A chip structure and a chip package structure are disclosed herein. The chip structure includes a chip and a bump. The chip includes at least one pad. The bump is disposed on a bounding region of the pad. The shape of the bump is triangular pillar or trapezoidal pillar. A surface area of connection between the bump and the pad is less than or equal to the bounding region. Therefore, the material usage and the cost of the bump can be reduced. In addition, such shape of the bump has directional characteristic so that it is easy to perform the chip testing via the identifiable pads, and perform the package process of bonding the chip to a circuit board or any carriers.
