A contact pad includes a solder-wettable porous network (310) which wicks the molten solder (130) and thus restricts the lateral spread of the solder, thus preventing solder bridging between adjacent contact pads.

Flux formulations and solder attachment during the fabrication of electronic device assemblies are described. One flux formation includes a flux component and a metal particle component, the metal particle component being present in an amount of from 5 to 35 volume percent of the flux formulation. In one feature of certain embodiments, the metal particle component includes solder particles. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A chip package including a substrate is provided. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite thereto. The substrate includes a sensing or device region which is adjacent to the first surface. A recess is in the substrate. The recess extends from the second surface towards the first surface, and vertically overlaps the sensing or device region. A redistribution layer is electrically connected to the sensing or device region, and extends from the second surface into the recess. A method of forming the chip package is also provided.
