Abstract

A method of making bonding bumps on the pads of an electrical chip including depositing a layer of metallic adhesion material over the surface, depositing metallic bumps on the metallic adhesion material over each of the pad areas using a focused liquid metal ion source, and chemically etching the layer of metallic adhesion material off the surface outside of the deposited bumps.
