Efficient redistribution layer topology

Abstract:

In some examples, a chip scale package (CSP) comprises a semiconductor die; a passivation layer abutting the semiconductor die; a via extending through the passivation layer; and a first metal layer abutting the via. The CSP also includes an insulation layer abutting the first metal layer, with the insulation layer having an orifice with a maximal horizontal area of less than 32400 microns.sup.2. The CSP further includes a second metal layer abutting the insulation layer and adapted to couple to a solder ball. The second metal layer abuts the first metal layer at a point of contact defined by the orifice in the insulation layer.
