Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device including a substrate, a passivation layer, and a connector. The passivation layer is disposed on the substrate. The connector is embedded in the passivation. An interface of the connector in contact with the passivation layer is uneven, thereby improving the structural stability of the connector. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor is also provided.

Claims (16)
