According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a metal bump on a first surface side of a semiconductor chip, positioning the semiconductor chip so the metal bump contacts a pad of an interconnection substrate, and applying a first light from a second surface side of the semiconductor chip and melting the metal bump with the first light. After the melting, the melted metal bump is allowed to resolidify by stopping or reducing the application of the first light. The semiconductor chip is then pressed toward the interconnection substrate. A second light is then applied from the second surface side of the semiconductor chip while the semiconductor chip is being pressed toward the interconnection substrate to melt the metal bump. After the melting, the melted metal bump is allowed to resolidify by the stopping or reducing of the application of the second light.

Indium bumps may be deposited and patterned in a dielectric film with a small diameter, tall height and substantially uniform in size and shape. The indium can be melted to create small grain size and uniform height bumps. The dielectric film may feature trenches around the indium bumps to prevent shorting of pixels when pressed together.

A semiconductor device is vertically mounted on a medium such as a printed circuit board (PCB).
