Abstract
Devices and methods for forming a device are presented. The method includes providing a substrate having circuit component and a dielectric layer over the substrate. The dielectric layer includes a plurality of inter level dielectric (ILD) layers and the uppermost dielectric layer includes at least one interconnect. A pad dielectric layer is provided over the uppermost ILD layer. A pad interconnect for receiving a wire bond is formed in the pad dielectric layer. The pad interconnect is coupled to the at least one interconnect of the uppermost ILD layer. A top surface of the pad dielectric layer is substantially coplanar with a top surface of the pad interconnect. A passivation layer is formed over the pad dielectric layer.
