Abstract

In one embodiment, a semiconductor module includes at least one semiconductor chip package, a board having functional pads and dummy pads, and at least one solder joint electrically connecting the semiconductor chip package and one of the functional pads of the board. Furthermore, at least one supporting solder bump is formed on one of the dummy pads and disposed under a portion of the semiconductor chip package. For example, the supporting solder bump may be disposed under a peripheral area of the semiconductor chip package.
