To provide a semiconductor device having improved reliability. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device includes connecting a wire comprised of copper with a conductive layer formed on the pad electrode of a semiconductor chip, heat treating the semiconductor chip, and then sealing the semiconductor chip and the wire with a resin.

Provided is a semiconductor device including a substrate, a pad, a protective layer, a plurality of convex patterns, a redistribution layer (RDL), and a bump. The pad is disposed on the substrate. The protective layer is disposed on the substrate. The protective layer has a first opening exposing a portion of a surface of the pad. The convex patterns are disposed on the protective layer. The RDL is disposed on the convex patterns. The RDL extends from the pad to the convex patterns. The bump is disposed on the convex patterns.

A redistribution layer with a landing pad is formed over a substrate with one or more mesh holes extending through the landing pad. The mesh holes may be arranged in a circular shape, and a passivation layer may be formed over the landing pad and the mesh holes. An opening is formed through the passivation layer and an underbump metallization is formed in contact with an exposed portion of the landing pad and extends over the mesh holes. By utilizing the mesh holes, sidewall delamination and peeling that might otherwise occur may be reduced or eliminated.

A package includes a chip formed in a first area of the package and a molding compound formed in a second area of the package adjacent to the first area. A first polymer layer is formed on the chip and the molding compound, a second polymer layer is formed on the first polymer layer, and a plurality of interconnect structures is formed between the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer. A metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor is formed on the second polymer layer and electrically coupled to at least one of the plurality of interconnect structures. A metal bump is formed over and electrically coupled to at least one of the plurality of interconnect structures.

A semiconductor structure includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a pad disposed over the first surface; a first passivation disposed over the first surface and partially covering the pad; a redistribution layer (RDL) disposed over the first passivation, and including a conductive line extending over the first passivation and a second passivation partially covering the conductive line. The conductive line includes a via portion coupled with the pad and extended within the first passivation towards the pad, and a land portion extended over the first passivation, wherein the land portion includes a plurality of first protrusions protruded away from the first passivation.
