1. A wafer structure, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate having an active surface, wherein the semiconductor substrate has a plurality of bonding pads positioned on the active surface and a passivation layer, which covers the active surface exposes the bonding pads;
a plurality of UBM layers disposed on the bonding pads, wherein each of the UBM layers comprises:
an adhesive layer disposed on the bonding pads;
a super-lattice barrier layer disposed on the adhesive layer, wherein the super-lattice barrier layer comprises a plurality of alternately stacked sub-barrier layers and sub-wetting layers;
a welling layer disposed on the super-lattice barrier layer; and
a plurality of bumps disposed on the wetting layer,
wherein the thickness of the welling layer is Y1, the overall thickness of the sub-wetting layers adds up to Y2, and the quotient of Y1/Y2 ranges between 1 and 2.
