A method includes forming a metal layer extending into openings of a dielectric layer to contact a first metal pad and a second metal pad, and bonding a bottom terminal of a component device to the metal layer. The metal layer has a first portion directly underlying and bonded to the component device. A raised via is formed on the metal layer, and the metal layer has a second portion directly underlying the raised via. The metal layer is etched to separate the first portion and the second portion of the metal layer from each other. The method further includes coating the raised via and the component device in a dielectric layer, revealing the raised via and a top terminal of the component device, and forming a redistribution line connecting the raised via to the top terminal.

Components may be placed on an active side of a wafer as part of wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) for use in electronic devices. Pad layouts for the components on an active side of a wafer may be passivation-defined by forming a conductive terminal over a first dielectric layer and a forming a passivating, second dielectric layer over the conductive terminal. Openings formed in the second dielectric layer define component contacts to the conductive terminal and circuitry on the wafer coupled to the conductive terminal. Trenches may be used between pairs of contact pads to further reduce issues resulting from short circuits and/or underfills. A conductive pad may further be deposited in the opening to form underbump metallization (UBM) for coupling the component to the wafer.
