Abstract
A method of making a semiconductor device includes plating a first conductive material over a first passivation layer, wherein the first conductive material fills an opening in the first passivation layer and electrically connects to an interconnect structure. The method further includes planarizing the first conductive material, wherein a top surface of the planarized first conductive material is coplanar with a top surface of the first passivation layer. The method further includes depositing a second conductive material over the first passivation layer, wherein the second conductive material is different from the first conductive material, and the second conductive material is electrically connected to the first conductive material in the opening. The method further includes patterning the second conductive material to define a redistribution line (RDL).
