Abstract
A method of forming a semiconductor device includes: forming first electrical components in a substrate in a first device region of the semiconductor device; forming a first interconnect structure over and electrically coupled to the first electrical components; forming a first passivation layer over the first interconnect structure, the first passivation layer extending from the first device region to a scribe line region adjacent to the first device region; after forming the first passivation layer, removing the first passivation layer from the scribe line region while keeping a remaining portion of the first passivation layer in the first device region; and dicing along the scribe line region after removing the first passivation layer.
