During formation of solder bumps on the bonding pads of a component, a two-layer dam structure is utilized to block solder from flowing from the pads to adjacent portions of a metallization pattern. After the solder bumps are formed, the top dam layer is dissolved, whereby any solder debris present on the top dam layer is also removed from the structure. The bottom dam layer, which remains intact during the removal step, serves to confine solder movement during a subsequent bonding operation in which the solder bumps are reflowed to cause them to adhere to aligned pads on another component.
