Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a die bump pad and substrate with a trace line and integrated bump pad. Conductive bump material is deposited on the substrate bump pad or die bump pad. The semiconductor die is mounted over the substrate so that the bump material is disposed between the die bump pad and substrate bump pad. The bump material is reflowed without a solder mask around the die bump pad or substrate bump pad to form an interconnect. The bump material is self-confined within a footprint of the die bump pad or substrate bump pad. The bump material can be immersed in a flux solution prior to reflow to increase wettability. Alternatively, the interconnect includes a non-fusible base and fusible cap. The volume of bump material is selected so that a surface tension maintains self-confinement of the bump material within the bump pads during reflow.
