A semiconductor device includes a bump structure formed on a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) line and surrounded by a protection structure. The protection structure includes a polymer layer and at least one dielectric layer. The dielectric layer may be formed on the top surface of the polymer layer, underlying the polymer layer, inserted between the bump structure and the polymer layer, inserted between the PPI line and the polymer layer, covering the exterior sidewalls of the polymer layer, or combinations thereof. |
