ABSTRACT:
Solder ball assembly for a semiconductor device and method of fabricating the same is described. In one example, a solder mask is formed on a substrate having an aperture exposing at least a portion of a conductive pad of the substrate. A solder pillar is formed in the aperture and in electrical communication with the conductive pad. An insulating layer is formed on the solder mask exposing at least a portion of the solder pillar. The exposed portion of the solder pillar is removed to define a mounting surface. A solder ball is formed on the mounting surface in electrical communication with the solder pillar. The solder pillar may include high-temperature solder having a melting point higher than that of the solder ball.
