Vertically structured pad system

Abstract:

A vertically structured pad system and method can include: a platform having etch attributes, a platform top surface, and a platform side surface; a structure on the platform, the structure including a structure side surface extended up from the platform top surface terminating in a structure top surface, the structure including a structure interior surface defining a cavity within the structure, and the platform top surface exposed from within the cavity; and an interconnect structure adhered to the platform and the structure, the interconnect structure conforming with an exterior shape of the platform side surface in combination with the structure for locking the interconnect structure onto the platform and the structure.
