Abstract

See full text

A method for forming an integrated circuit (IC) package is provided. In some embodiments, a semiconductor workpiece comprising a scribe line, a first IC die, a second IC die, and a passivation layer is formed. The scribe line separates the first and second IC dies, and the passivation layer covers the first and second IC dies. The first IC die comprises a circuit and a pad structure electrically coupled to the circuit. The pad structure comprises a first pad, a second pad, and a bridge. The bridge is within the scribe line and connects the first pad to the second pad. The passivation layer is patterned to expose the first pad, but not the second pad, and testing is performed on the circuit through the first pad. The semiconductor workpiece is cut along the scribe line to individualize the first and second IC dies, and to remove the bridge.
