Abstract

A semiconductor device assembly that includes a semiconductor device positioned over a substrate with a number of electrical interconnections formed between the semiconductor device and the substrate. The surface of the substrate includes a plurality of discrete solder mask standoffs that extend towards the semiconductor device. A thermal compression bonding process is used to melt solder to form the electrical interconnects, which lowers the semiconductor device to contact and be supported by the plurality of discrete solder mask standoffs. The solder mask standoffs permit the application of a higher pressure during the bonding process than using traditional solder masks. The solder mask standoffs may have various polygonal or non-polygonal shapes and may be positioned in pattern to protect sensitive areas of the semiconductor device and/or the substrate. The solder mask standoffs may be an elongated shape that protects areas of the semiconductor device and/or substrate.
