A wafer-level-package device with peripheral side wall protection has a die, multiple conductive bumps, and a protection layer. The die has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral side wall. A cavity is formed on the peripheral side wall of the die and around the die. The multiple conductive bumps are mounted on at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the die. The protection layer covers the die, the cavity, and the multiple conductive bumps. The multiple conductive bumps are exposed from the protection layer.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a first semiconductor structure and a second semiconductor structure are provided. The first semiconductor structure includes a first conductive pillar and a first conduction layer connected to the first conductive pillar, and the second semiconductor structure includes a second conductive pillar and a second conduction layer connected to the second conductive pillar, wherein a material of the first conduction layer and a material of the second conduction layer are conductive material and are volatilizable at a predetermined temperature. Thereafter, the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure are bonded to combine the first conductive pillar with the second conductive pillar. After the step of bonding the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure is completed, the first conduction layer and the second conduction layer are disappeared.

A method includes depositing a first dielectric layer on a first substrate of a first device die, etching the first dielectric layer to form a trench, depositing a metallic material in the trench and on a top surface of the first dielectric layer, and performing a chemical mechanical polish (CMP) process to remove a portion of the metallic material from the top surface of the first dielectric layer to form a first metal pad. After the performing of the CMP process, the method selectively etches the first metal pad to form recesses at an edge portion of the first metal pad, deposits a second dielectric layer on a second substrate of a second device die, forms a second metal pad in the second dielectric layer, and bonds the second device die to the first device die.
