Abstract

The present invention includes an integral copper column with a solder bump flip chip. An integrated circuit chip is provided having an electrical circuit and including at least two contact pads. A thin layer of barrier metallization is provided over the contact pads. A support substrate is provided having a circuit layer with raised features that include copper traces. A solder bump connects the contact pad on the integrated circuit chip and the raised features of the flex circuit to provide an integral copper column with a solder bump flip chip.
