Abstract

An interconnect system that has low alpha particle emission characteristics for use in an electronic device includes a semiconductor chip that has an upper surface and spaced apart electrically resistive bumps positioned on conductive regions of the upper surface, the electrically resistive bumps are made of a composite material of a polymer and metal particles, and a substrate that has conductive regions bonded to the electrically resistive bumps in a bonding process wherein the electrically resistive bumps convert to electrically conductive bumps after the bonding process.
