Abstract

A method for forming a package structure includes forming an under bump metallization (UBM) layer over a metal pad and forming a photoresist layer over the UBM layer. The method further includes patterning the photoresist layer to form an opening in the photoresist layer. The method also includes forming a first bump structure over the first portion of the UBM layer. The first bump structure includes a first barrier layer over a first pillar layer. The method includes placing a second bump structure over the first bump structure. The second bump structure includes a second barrier layer over a second pillar layer. The method further includes reflowing the first bump structure and the second bump structure to form a solder joint between a first inter intermetallic compound (IMC) and a second IMC.
