The insulating layer has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface, and defines an opening extending through the insulating layer. The conductive structure is disposed in the opening of the insulating layer, and includes a first barrier layer and a wetting layer. The first barrier layer is disposed on a sidewall of the opening of the insulating layer, and defines a through hole extending through the first barrier layer. The wetting layer is disposed on the first barrier layer. A portion of the wetting layer is exposed from the through hole of the first barrier layer and the lower surface of the insulating layer to form a ball pad.

  • Patent number: 10261370
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a display having a thin-film transistor layer. One or more holes in the thin-film transistor layer may be used to form pathways from display circuitry to other circuitry underneath the display. One or more conductive bridges may pass through holes in the thin-film transistor layer and may have one end that couples to the display circuitry and a second end that couples to a printed circuit underneath the display. These conductive bridges may be formed from wire bonding. Wire bond connections may be encapsulated with potting material to improve the reliability of the wire bond and increase the resiliency of the display. Display signal lines may be routed through holes in a thin-film transistor layer to run along a backside of the display thereby reducing the need for space in the border region for display circuitry.
