Disclosed are examples of integrated circuit (IC) structures and techniques to fabricate IC structures. Each IC package may include a die (e.g., a flip-chip (FC) die) and one or more die interconnects to electrically couple the die to a substrate. The die interconnect may include a pillar, a wetting barrier on the pillar, and a solder cap on the wetting barrier. The wetting barrier may be wider than the pillar. The die interconnect may also include a low wetting layer formed on the wetting barrier.
