Contact bumps between a contact pad and a substrate can include a rough surface that can mate with the material of the substrate of which may be flexible. The rough surface can enhance the bonding strength of the contacts, for example, against shear and tension forces, especially for flexible systems such as smart label and may be formed via roller or other methods.
