The present disclosure describes a structure with passivation layers with rounded corners and a method for forming such a structure. The method includes forming a first insulating layer on a substrate, where the substrate includes a first conductive structure. The method further includes forming an opening in the first insulating layer to expose the first conductive structure and forming a second conductive structure on the first insulating layer, where the second conductive structure is in contact with the first conductive structure through the opening. The method further includes removing a portion of the second conductive structure with a first etching condition, removing a portion of the first insulating layer with a second etching condition, different from the first etching condition, to form a rounded corner between a sidewall of the second conductive structure and a top surface of the first insulating layer, and depositing a second insulating layer on the first insulating layer and the second conductive structure.
