Original Abstract Submitted
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming an interconnect structure over a substrate. The method includes forming a first conductive pad and a mask layer over the interconnect structure. The mask layer covers a top surface of the first conductive pad. The method includes forming a metal oxide layer over a sidewall of the first conductive pad. The method includes forming a second conductive pad over the first conductive pad and passing through the mask layer. The first conductive pad and the second conductive pad are made of different materials.
