Abstract

The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a structure and method for personalizing a semiconductor device in the context of a bump array connection to packaging, substrates and such. The preferred embodiment method uses a plurality of conduction lines on said semiconductor device, including a plurality of landing lines and personalization lines. Vias are opened to the plurality of landing lines and selectively opened to a portion of the personalization lines. Connections are made between the opened personalization lines with bumps deposited as part of the bump array.
