Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first passivation layer over a substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a post passivation interconnect (PPI) line over the first passivation layer, wherein a top-most portion of the PPI line has a first portion having a convex shape and a second portion having a concave shape. The semiconductor device further includes a second passivation layer configured to cause stress to the PPI line. The semiconductor device further includes a polymer material over the second passivation layer.
