To improve reliability of a semiconductor device, in a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device, a semiconductor substrate having an insulating film in which an opening that exposes each of a plurality of electrode pads is formed is provided, and a flux member including conductive particles is arranged over each of the electrode pads. Thereafter, a solder ball is arranged over each of the electrode pads via the flux member, and is then heated via the flux member so that the solder ball is bonded to each of the electrode pads. The width of the opening of the insulating film is smaller than the width (diameter) of the solder ball.

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for soldering a chip onto a surface. The method generally includes forming a bonding pad on the surface on which the chip is to be soldered, wherein the bonding pad is surrounded, at least in part, by dielectric material. The method may also include treating the dielectric material to render the dielectric material superomniphobic, and soldering the chip onto the bonding pad.

A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip comprising a first surface and a second surface, a redistribution layer on the first surface of the semiconductor chip, an under bump metal (UBM) layer on the redistribution layer, and a solder bump on the UBM layer, and the solder bump covers both outer side surfaces of the UBM layer.

A method of electroplating a metal into features, having substantially different depths, of a partially fabricated electronic device on a substrate is provided. The method includes adsorbing accelerator into the bottom of recessed features; partially filling the features by a bottom up fill mechanism in an electroplating solution; diffusing leveler into shallow features to decrease the plating rate in shallow features as compared to deep features; and electroplating more metal into the features such that the height of metal in deep features is similar to the height of metal in shallow features.
