ABSTRACT:
A bump for a semiconductor package forms a polymer layer having multiple vias on an electrode pad above a semiconductor chip to increase an electrical contact area between the electrode pad and a metal bump. Further, the bump forms a polymer layer having multiple vias on a redistribution electrode pad to increase a surface area of an electrode interconnection. The multiple vias increase electrical and mechanical contact areas, thereby preventing current crowding and improving joint reliability. The bump for a semiconductor package may further comprise a stress relaxation layer at the lower portion of the bump.
