A method for eliminating metal line corrosion for semiconductor packages where exposed metal lines are exposed to the atmosphere for an extended period of time. A passivation layer is deposited over the active die of the semiconductor package, a layer of polymer film is deposited over the passivation layer and over the exposed conducting lines. At the time that the semiconductor package must be tested, including testing for corrosion of the exposed metal lines, the polymer layer is removed and the molding compound is applied. The semiconductor package is now tested. The added step of depositing a layer of polymer film has protected the interconnecting conducting lines from corrosion.
