  • Publication number: 20240096780
    Abstract: A terminal structure includes an electrically conductive post, an electrically conductive flange, and a stress buffer. The electrically conductive post has a bottom surface at a first level and an upper sidewall laterally covered by the stress buffer. The stress buffer has a bottom surface at a second level between the top surface and the bottom surface of the electrically conductive post. The electrically conductive flange extends laterally from the upper sidewall of the electrically conductive post to an outer peripheral edge thereof, and has a depression surface at a third level between the top surface and the bottom surface of the electrically conductive post. Accordingly, the terminal structure has multi-level staggered configuration and is advantageous to achieving the desired wetting height for robust visual inspection and improving primary and secondary board-level reliability.
