Bump

14 Packaging, Assembly, Chiplets & 3D Integration

Definition

A raised conductive interconnect structure formed on a die or wafer pad so the chip can make a short vertical electrical and mechanical connection to a package substrate, interposer or another die.

Application

Used in flip-chip and wafer-level packaging to replace or complement wire bonds. Common bump structures include solder bumps and copper pillars, and finer bump geometries support higher I/O density.
