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 process for batch fabrication of circuit components is disclosed via simultaneously packaging multiple circuit component dice in a matrix. Each die has electrodes on its tops and bottom surfaces to be electrically connected to a corresponding electrical terminal of the circuit component it's packaged in. For each circuit component in the matrix, the process forms preparative electrical terminals on a copper substrate. Component dice are pick-and-placed onto the copper substrate with their bottom electrodes landing on corresponding preparative electrical terminal. Horizontal conductor plates are then placed horizontally on top of the circuit component dice, with bottom surface at one end of each plate landing on the dice's top electrode. An opening is formed at the opposite end and has vertical conductive surfaces. A vertical conductor block is placed into the opening and lands on the preparative electrical terminal, and the opening's vertical conductive surfaces facing the top end side surface of the vertical block. A thermal reflow then simultaneously melts pre-applied soldering material so that each circuit component die and its vertical conductor block are soldered to the copper substrate below and its horizontal conductor plate above.
