An electronic component package includes a substrate having an upper surface. Traces on the upper surface of the substrate extend in a longitudinal direction. The traces have a first latitudinal width in a latitudinal direction, the latitudinal direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Rectangular copper pillars are attached to bond pads of an electronic component, the copper pillars having a longitudinal length and a latitudinal second width. The latitudinal second width of the copper pillars is equal to and aligned with the first latitudinal width of the traces. Further, the longitudinal length of the copper pillars is parallel with the longitudinal direction of the trace and equal to the length of the bond pads. The copper pillars are mounted to the traces with solder joints.

A chip package is provided, in which includes: a packaging substrate, a chip and a plurality solder balls interposed between the packaging substrate and the chip for bonding the packaging substrate and the chip, wherein the solder balls include a first portion of a first size and a second portion of a second size that is different from the first size.

A method for bonding a first substrate to a second substrate including the steps of: making contact of a first contact area of the first substrate with a second contact area of the second substrate, which second area is aligned parallel to the first contact area, as a result of which a common contact area is formed; and producing a bond interconnection between the first substrate and the second substrate outside the common contact area.

The present description relates to the field of fabricating microelectronic assemblies, wherein a microelectronic device may be attached to a microelectronic substrate with a plurality of shaped and oriented solder joints. The shaped and oriented solder joints may be substantially oval, wherein the major axis of the substantially oval solder joints may be substantially oriented toward a neutral point or center of the microelectronic device. Embodiments of the shaped and oriented solder joint may reduce the potential of solder joint failure due to stresses, such as from thermal expansion stresses between the microelectronic device and the microelectronic substrate.
