An under-bump metallization (UBM) structure for a semiconductor device is provided. A passivation layer is formed over a contact pad such that at least a portion of the contact pad is exposed. A protective layer, such as a polyimide layer, may be formed over the passivation layer. The UBM structure, such as a conductive pillar, is formed over the underlying contact pad such that the underlying contact pad extends laterally past the UBM structure by a distance large enough to prevent or reduce cracking of the passivation layer and or protective layer.
