ABSTRACT:
A flip-chip package for implementing a fine solder ball, and a flip-chip packaging method using the same. The flip-chip package includes a first wafer having a first electrode and a first under bump metal (UBM) formed on the first electrode and electrically connected to the first electrode; and second wafer opposing the first wafer and having a second electrode located in a position corresponding to the first electrode, and a second UBM formed on the second electrode and electrically connected to the second electrode. The first wafer has a depression formed on one or more areas adjacent to the first UBM, which depression partly receives a solder ball that connects the first and the second UBMs upon flip-chip bonding of the first and second wafers. Since the UBM is formed as an embossing pattern, a fine solder ball can be implemented. Additionally, the reliability of the package can be improved.
