A method for fabricating chip package includes providing a semiconductor chip with a bonding pad, comprising an adhesion/barrier layer, connected to a pad through an opening in a passivation layer, next adhering the semiconductor chip to a substrate using a glue material, next bonding a wire to the bonding pad and to the substrate, forming a polymer material on the substrate, covering the semiconductor chip and the wire, next forming a lead-free solder ball on the substrate, and then cutting the substrate and polymer material to form a chip package.
