Abstract

A semiconductor device structure and method for forming the same are provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a conductive pad formed over a substrate, and a conductive structure formed over the conductive pad. The conductive structure has a curved top surface. The semiconductor device structure also includes a protection layer between the conductive pad and the conductive structure. A lowest point of the curved top surface of the conductive structure is higher than a topmost surface of the protection layer.
