Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a plurality of bumps formed over the die. A substrate has a plurality of conductive traces formed on the substrate. Each trace has an interconnect site for mating to the bumps. The interconnect sites have parallel edges along a length of the conductive traces under the bumps from a plan view for increasing escape routing density. The bumps have a noncollapsible portion for attaching to a contact pad on the die and fusible portion for attaching to the interconnect site. The fusible portion melts at a temperature which avoids damage to the substrate during reflow. The noncollapsible portion includes lead solder, and fusible portion includes eutectic solder. The interconnect sites have a width which is less than 1.2 times a width of the conductive trace. Alternatively, the interconnect sites have a width which is less than one-half a diameter of the bump.
