METHOD OF FORMING CONTACT BUMPS IN CONTACT PADS

摘要

A process for forming a contact bump in an electrically conductive contact pad having top and bottom surfaces supported on a dielectric substrate that includes the steps of removing a portion of the substrate underlying the contact pad to form an aperture and expose a portion of the bottom surface of the pad; upwardly deforming the pad by applying force to its exposed bottom surface to form the bump; and filling the aperture behind the bump with a supporting substance.
