Abstract
A semiconductor device assembly that includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, the first side having at least one dummy pad and at least one electrical pad. The semiconductor device assembly includes a first semiconductor device having a first side and a second side and at least one electrical pillar extending from the second side. The electrical pillar is connected to the electrical pad via solder to form an electrical interconnect. The semiconductor device assembly includes at least one dummy pillar extending from the second side of the first semiconductor device and a liquid positioned between an end of the dummy pillar and the dummy pad. The surface tension of the liquid pulls the dummy pillar towards the dummy pad. The surface tension may reduce or minimize a warpage of the semiconductor device assembly and/or align the dummy pillar and the dummy pad.
