Abstract: No-remelt solder joints can eliminate die or substrate movement in downstream reflow processes. In one example, one or more solder joints between two substrates can be formed as full IMC (intermetallic compound) solder joints. In one example, a full IMC solder joint includes a continuous layer (e.g., from the top pad to bottom pad) of intermetallic compounds. In one example, a full IMC joint can be formed by dispensing a no-remelt solder paste on some of the pads of one or both substrates to be bonded together.

After being developed, one photoresist forms an overhang over a sheltered region. The mold formed by the photoresists is filled with copper and then etched. The overhang prevents the top of the copper infill below the overhang region from being etched. As such, the sheltered region forms a pillar or column after etching, which can be used as a via.
