Abstract

Forming an electronic structure may include forming a seed layer on a substrate, and forming a mask on the seed layer. The mask may include an aperture therein exposing a portion of the seed layer, and a barrier layer may be formed on the exposed portion of the seed layer. A bump may be formed on the barrier layer, and the mask may be removed. In addition, portions of the seed layer may be selectively removed using the barrier layer as an etch mask.
