Bond pad structures and methods for fabricating bond pad structures. A bond pad and a plurality of fill lines are formed on the top surface of a dielectric layer. The fill lines are arranged on the top surface of the dielectric layer adjacent to the bond pad, and may be separated from the bond pad by a fill keep-out zone. One or more Under Bump Metallurgy (UBM) layers may be arranged on the bond pad and may extend outwardly to overlap with the fill lines.

A method of forming a microelectronic device structure comprises coiling a portion of a wire up and around at least one sidewall of a structure protruding from a substrate. At least one interface between an upper region of the structure and an upper region of the coiled portion of the wire is welded to form a fused region between the structure and the wire.
