  • Publication number: 20090001567
    Abstract: A bumped chip has a plurality of finger-like bumps bonded on multiple openings of a chip. The chip primarily comprises a plurality of bonding pads and a passivation layer having a plurality of opening thereon. In one embodiment, the openings on each bonding pad are plural and disposed in linear, in parallel, or in an array. The finger-like bumps are protrusively disposed on the chip and each has a bump core and an extension finger. The bump cores are disposed within the corresponding bonding pads and cover the openings, and the extension fingers are disposed outside the corresponding bonding pads to maintain the bonding strengths of the bumps even at fine pitches. In an embodiment, the extension fingers overlap at least a trace of the chip.

  • Patent number: 7394164
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a plurality of bumps in a same row for staggered probing. The bumps in a same row are disposed on a chip and include a plurality of regular bumps and a plurality of irregular bumps. The regular bumps and the irregular bumps are interspersed in a same pitch. Along a defined line, the widths of the irregular bumps are narrower than the ones of the regular bumps for fine pitch applications. Additionally, the irregular bumps have a plurality of integral probed portions far away the line, top surfaces of which are expanded such that probed points can be defined on the probed portions for staggered probing.
