Abstract
A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor structure includes an interconnect structure disposed over a semiconductor substrate, contact pads disposed on the interconnect structure, a dielectric structure disposed on the interconnect structure and covering the contact pads, bonding connectors covered by the dielectric structure and landing on the contact pads, and a dummy feature covered by the dielectric structure and laterally interposed between adjacent two of the bonding connectors. Top surfaces of the bonding connectors are substantially coplanar with a top surface of the dielectric structure, and the bonding connectors are electrically coupled to the interconnect structure through the contact pads.
