System and method for increasing bump pad height

摘要

In accordance with the present invention, a system and method for increasing bump pad height in a flip chip assembly are provided. The method includes depositing a bump pad on a substrate and depositing a solder mask on the substrate to define an opening surrounding the bump pad. A resist material is then deposited on the substrate such that the resist material covers the bump pad and solder mask. The resist material is then etched to form a column-shaped opening above the bump pad, and a conductive material is deposited into the column-shaped opening. The remaining resist material may then be optionally removed, leaving behind a column of conductive material above the bump pad.
