Abstract: A chip package having ESD protection and a method for making the chip are disclosed. The chip package includes a chip and a substrate. The chip includes a number of I/O pads each connected to a corresponding I/O contact via a first bonding wire. It also includes a number of ESD protective pads each connected to a corresponding ESD contact via a second bonding wire.
