ABSTRACT:
A method of forming conductive pillars on a semiconductor wafer in which the conductive pillars are plated with a protecting coating of Ni, Co, Cr, Rh, NiP, NiB , CoWP, or CoP. Only the side of the conductive pillars are plated. The ends of the conductive pillars are free of the protective plating so that the conductive pillars can be readily joined to the pads of a packaging substrate. Also disclosed is a sidewall-protected conductive pillar having a protective coating of Ni, Co, Cr, Rh, NiP, NiB , CoWP, or CoP thereon.
