Abstract

See full text

Solder joints are formed on external electrodes of a semiconductor device, such as a ball grid array package or flip chip or the like, and higher solder joints are formed on the external electrodes. Each solder joint consists of a plurality of solder bumps, such as a first solder bump and a second solder bump. The process includes the steps of forming a first solder bump on an electrode, the electrode being electrically connected with a terminal of an electronic circuit, applying a first non-conductive material onto the first solder bump so as to encompass with the first non-conductive material the exposed area of the first solder bump except for a top portion of the first solder bump, and forming a second solder bump on the top portion of the first solder bump. A semiconductor device having solder joints higher than the single greatest possible solder ball for a given pitch and pad area is fabricated.
