Pillar connections for semiconductor chips and method of manufacture

Abstract

A flip chip interconnect system comprises and elongated pillar comprising two elongated portions, one portion including copper and another portion including solder. The portion including copper is in contact with the semiconductor chip and has a length preferably of more than 55 microns to reduce the effect of α particles from the solder from affecting electronic devices on the chip. The total length of the pillar is preferably in the range of 80 to 120 microns.
