Abstract
A semiconductor device and method of making a conductive connector is provided. In an embodiment an opening is formed within a photoresist by adjusting the center point of an in-focus area during the exposure process. Once the photoresist has been developed to form an opening, an after development baking process is utilized to reshape the opening. Once reshaped, a conductive material is formed into the opening to take on the shape of the opening.
