Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes forming a conductive feature adjacent to a substrate; treating the conductive feature with a protective material, the protective material comprising an inorganic core with an organic coating around the inorganic core, the treating the conductive feature comprising forming a protective layer over the conductive feature; and forming an encapsulant around the conductive feature and the protective layer. In another embodiment, the method further includes, before forming the encapsulant, rinsing the protective layer with water. In another embodiment, the protective layer is selectively formed over the conductive feature.
