Abstract: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a die bump pad. A substrate has a conductive trace with an interconnect site. A conductive bump material is deposited on the interconnect site or die bump pad.

The tapered bumps can have a non-collapsible portion and collapsible portion. A plurality of conductive traces is formed over a substrate with interconnect sites. A masking layer is formed over the substrate with openings over the conductive traces.
