A stud bump structure for electrical interconnection between a pair of members includes a base portion, and a stem portion. The base portion is affixed to a pad or trace in one of the pair of members to be interconnected (such as an integrated circuit chip), and the stem end is configured to contact a metal pad on the other member (such as a printed circuit board) to complete the interconnect. According to the invention, the stem end is truncated to form a transverse plane, and the stem is more compliant than the base. Also, a method for forming a stud bump on a contact surface, includes forming a bump base portion on the surface, drawing out a generally conical tail from a top of the base, and truncating the tail to form a stem portion having a planar transverse top surface and having a length from the top of the base portion to the top surface. In some embodiments the tail portion, at least, of the stud bump is formed using a wire bonding tool. Also, a method for forming an interconnect between a first member and a second member of an electronic package includes providing one of the members with the stud bumps of the invention and then bringing the corresponding bumps and pads together in a bonding process, the compliance of the stems portions of the bumps accommodating the variance from coplanarity of the pad surfaces.
