ABSTRACT:
A new method and processing sequence is provided for the creation of interconnect bumps. A layer of passivation is deposited over a contact pad and patterned, creating an opening in the layer of passivation that aligns with the contact pad. A layer of UBM metal is deposited over the layer of passivation, the layer of UBM is overlying the contact pad and limited to the immediate surroundings of the contact pad. The central surface of the layer of UBM is selectively electroplated after which a layer of solder or solder alloy is solder printed over the electroplated surface of the layer of UBM. A solder flux or paste is applied over the surface of the solder printed solder compound or solder alloy. Flowing of the solder or solder alloy creates the solder bump of the invention.
