A chip package and a chip packaging method are provided. The package includes: a chip to be packaged, a reinforcing layer and solder bumps. The chip to be packaged includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface includes a sensing region and first contact pads, and the first contact pads are electrically coupled to the sensing region. The reinforcing layer covers the first surface of the chip to be packaged. The solder bumps are provided on the second surface of the chip to be packaged. The solder bump is electrically connected to the first contact pad and is configured to electrically connect with an external circuit.

A packaging device including bumps and a method of manufacturing the packaging device are presented. In the method of manufacturing a packaging device, a dielectric layer that covers a packaging base is formed and a lower layer is formed over a packaging base including first and second connecting pads. A plurality of dummy bumps that overlaps with the dielectric layer is formed. A sealing pattern that covers the dummy bumps, filling areas between the dummy bumps, is formed. A lower layer pattern in which the plurality of dummy bumps have been disposed is formed by removing portions of the lower layer that are exposed and do not overlap with the sealing pattern.

A substrate or semiconductor device, semiconductor device assembly, and method of forming a semiconductor device assembly that includes a barrier on a solder cup. The semiconductor device assembly includes a substrate disposed over another substrate. At least one solder cup extends from one substrate towards an under bump metal (UBM) on the other substrate. The barrier on the exterior of the solder cup may be a standoff to control a bond line between the substrates. The barrier may reduce solder bridging during the formation of a semiconductor device assembly. The barrier may help to align the solder cup with a UBM when forming a semiconductor device assembly and may reduce misalignment due to lateral movement of substrates and/or semiconductor devices.

A system and method of using electrochemical additive manufacturing to add interconnection features, such as wafer bumps or pillars, or similar structures like heatsinks, to a plate such as a silicon wafer. The plate may be coupled to a cathode, and material for the features may be deposited onto the plate by transmitting current from an anode array through an electrolyte to the cathode. Position actuators and sensors may control the position and orientation of the plate and the anode array to place features in precise positions. Use of electrochemical additive manufacturing may enable construction of features that cannot be created using current photoresist-based methods. For example, pillars may be taller and more closely spaced, with heights of 200 ?m or more, diameters of 10 ?m or below, and inter-pillar spacing below 20 ?m. Features may also extend horizontally instead of only vertically, enabling routing of interconnections to desired locations.
