Embodiments are directed to a method of forming a semiconductor chip package and resulting structures having an annular PSPI region formed under a BLM pad. An annular region is formed under a barrier layer metallurgy (BLM) pad. The annular region includes a photosensitive polyimide (PSPI). A conductive pedestal is formed on a surface of the BLM pad and a solder bump is formed on a surface of the conductive pedestal. The annular PSPI region reduces wafer warpage and ULK peeling stress. |
