Abstract: Provided is a landing pad structure including a substrate, a plurality of landing pads, a guard ring, and an edge pattern. The substrate includes a cell region, a periphery region, and a guard ring region located between the cell region and the periphery region. The landing pads are arranged on the substrate in the cell region in a hexagonal close packing (HCP) configuration. The guard ring is disposed on the substrate in the guard ring region in a strip form. The edge pattern is disposed on the substrate in the cell region and close to the guard ring region. A method of manufacturing the landing pad structure is also provided.
