Abstract
A chip contact pad and a method of making a chip contact pad are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention includes forming a plurality of contact pads over a workpiece, each contact pad having lower sidewalls and upper sidewalls and reducing a lower width of each contact pad so that an upper width of each contact pad is larger than the lower width. The method further includes forming a photoresist over the plurality of contact pads and removing portions of the photoresist thereby forming sidewall spacers along the lower sidewalls.
