Abstract
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated chip. The integrated chip includes a first interconnect wire disposed within a dielectric structure on a substrate. A bond pad has a lower surface contacting the first interconnect wire. A via layer is vertically between the first interconnect wire and a second interconnect wire within the dielectric structure. The via layer includes a plurality of support vias having a first size and a plurality of additional vias having a second size that is smaller than the first size. The plurality of support vias extend from directly under the lower surface of the bond pad to laterally past outermost edges of the lower surface of the bond pad.
