ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a solder bump on an integrated circuit die utilizes a terminal (12) formed of an electrically conductive, solder-wettable composite material composed of copper particles and a polymeric binder. The terminal comprises a bond pad (24) overlying a passivation layer (20) on the die and a runner section (26) connecting the bond pad to a metal contact (16). The terminal is applied to the die, for example, as an ink by screen printing, after which a body of solder alloy is reflowed in contact with the bond pad to form the bump. A preferred material for the terminal is composed of silver-plated copper particles and a resol type phenolic binder.
