Abstract
Embodiments provide metal features which dissipate heat generated from a laser drilling process for exposing dummy pads through a dielectric layer. Because the dummy pads are coupled to the metal features, the metal features act as a heat dissipation feature to pull heat from the dummy pad. As a result, reduction in heat is achieved at the dummy pad during the laser drilling process.
