An integrated circuit includes active circuitry and at least one bond pad. The at least one bond pad, in turn, comprises a metallization layer and a capping layer having one or more grooves. The metallization layer is in electrical contact with at least a portion of the active circuitry. In addition, the capping layer is formed over at least a portion of the metallization layer and is in electrical contact with the metallization layer. The grooves in the capping layer may be located only proximate to the edges of the bond pad or may run throughout the bond pad depending on the application.
