A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (IC) chip is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided. The substrate is divided into an internal region and an external region by a die seal ring region. A number of circuit units are then formed in the internal region on the substrate. Thereafter, a dielectric layer is formed over the substrate, interconnects are formed in the dielectric layer within the internal region, and a number of bonding pad structures are formed in the dielectric layer within the external region. Finally, a cutting process is performed along a number of scribed lines on the substrate to form a number of chips. The bonding pad structures are exposed at the sides of each chip.
