SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE WITH SACRIFICIAL ANODE AND METHOD FOR FORMING

摘要

A packaged semiconductor device is made by forming a conductive pad on an external surface of an integrated circuit device, forming a passivation layer over the conductive pad, removing a portion of the passivation layer over a bond area on the conductive pad, forming a sacrificial anode around a majority of a periphery surrounding the bond area, forming a conductive bond in the bond area, and forming an encapsulating material around the conductive bond and an exposed portion of the sacrificial anode.

1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure comprising:
forming a conductive layer on a integrated circuit (IC) wafer; forming a first sacrificial layer over a major surface of the conductive layer; forming a passivation layer over the first sacrificial layer; removing a portion of the passivation layer and a portion of the first sacrificial layer from a bond area on the major surface of the conductive layer; and forming an encapsulating material over the passivation layer and in contact with an exposed portion of the sacrificial layer.
