Abstract
A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor structure includes a first under-bump metallization (UBM) pattern, a first conductive via, and a first dielectric layer laterally covering the first UBM pattern and the first conductive via. Entireties of a top surface and a bottom surface of the first UBM pattern are substantially planar. The first conductive via landing on the top surface of the first UBM pattern includes a vertical sidewall and a top surface connected to the vertical sidewall, and a planarized mark is on the top surface of the first conductive via. A bottom surface of the first dielectric layer is substantially flush with the bottom surface of the first UBM, and a top surface of the first dielectric layer is substantially flush with the top surface of the first conductive via.
