Abstract

See full text

A method for forming an improved bonding pad structure. A bond pad structure is formed by depositing a barrier layer over an underlying region of a semiconductor device, and then depositing a first conductive layer over the barrier layer. The barrier layer and conductive layer are then patterned and etched to define a conductive region. In a preferred embodiment, the conductive region is formed in the shape of a grid. A second conductive layer is deposited over the conductive region and a portion of the exposed underlying region. The second conductive layer makes a good adhesive contact with the underlying region, thus preventing bond pad lift off.
