  • Publication number: 20220384377
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor chip, a substrate and a plurality of bump segments. The bump segments include a first group of bump segments and a second group of bump segments collectively extended from an active surface of the semiconductor chip toward the substrate. Each bump segment of the second group of bump segments has a cross-sectional area greater than a cross-sectional area of each bump segment of the first group of bump segments. The first group of bump segments includes a first bump segment and a second bump segment. Each of the first bump segment and the second bump segment includes a tapered side surface exposed to an environment outside the bump segments. A portion of a bottom surface of the second bump segment is stacked on the first bump segment, and another portion of the bottom surface of the second bump segment is exposed to the environment.

  • Patent number: 11495556
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure is provided. The method includes: providing a semiconductor chip comprising an active surface; forming a conductive bump over the active surface of the semiconductor chip; and coupling the conductive bump to a substrate. The conductive bump includes a plurality of bump segments including a first group of bump segments and a second group of bump segments. Each bump segment has a same segment thickness in a direction orthogonal to the active surface of the semiconductor chip, and each bump segment has a volume defined by a multiplication of the same segment thickness with an average cross-sectional area of the bump segment in a plane parallel to the active surface of the semiconductor chip. A ratio of a total volume of the first group of bump segments to a total volume of the second group of bump segments is between 0.03 and 0.8.
