Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a stress buffer ( ) is formed between a power metal structure ( ) and passivation layer ( ). The stress buffer ( ) reduces the effects of stress imparted upon the passivation layer ( ) by the power metal structure ( ). In accordance with an alternative embodiment, a power metal structure ( A) is partitioned into segments ( ), whereby electrical continuity is maintained between the segments ( ) by remaining portions of a seed layer ( ) and adhesion/barrier layer ( ). The individual segments ( ) impart a lower peak stress than a comparably sized continuous power metal structure ( ).
