Abstract
A chip structure has a chip body having a plurality of pads, a plurality of metal bumps respectively formed on the pads, and a patterned bump directly formed on the chip body. The patterned bump has at least two different upper and lower plane patterns. A top surface of each of the metal bumps is higher than a height position on which the upper plane pattern is. When the chip structure is ground to the height position, the ground tops of the metal bumps and the upper plane pattern are flush. Therefore, detecting whether the upper plane pattern is exposed determines whether all the metal bumps are exposed and flush to each other to avoid insufficient grinding depth or over-ground.
