Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor wafer with a plurality of semiconductor die. A first conductive layer is formed over a surface of the wafer. A first insulating layer is formed over the surface of the wafer and first conductive layer. A second conductive layer has first and second segments formed over the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer and second conductive layer. A UBM layer is formed over the second insulating layer and the first segment of the second conductive layer. A first bump is formed over the UBM layer. The first bump is electrically connected to the second segment and electrically isolated from the first segment of the second conductive layer. A second bump is formed over the surface of the wafer and electrically connected to the first segment of the second conductive layer.
