Abstract
In joining conductors at different levels on a carrier to contact locations on a planar substrate, mound shaped connections are employed, with the height of each mound shaped connection extending to the level of the particular conductor to which it is bonded. The mound shaped connections are formed using planar processes of controlled volume deposition, surface tension shaping on reflow, and physical deformation. The height of the mound shaped connections are calculated empirically from the volume deposited bounded by the substrate pad after surface tension limits the slump on reflowing.
