Conductive bumps with non-conductive juxtaposed sidewalls and method for fabricating

摘要

A microelectronic structure having a substrate of multiple conductive bumps for contact with bond pads on an electronic substrate in the fabrication of a flip chip electronic assembly. Each of the conductive bumps includes a conductive layer which is absent from at least one sidewall of the bump to prevent the inadvertent formation of a short-circuiting electrical path between adjacent conductive bumps in the electronic assembly.
