Abstract
A method for forming an electrical interconnect on a substrate. At least one pad (14) is formed on a substrate (11). The pad (14) is formed having a non-wetting surface (12) and a wettable surface (13). Photoresist (44) is patterned on a substrate (41) forming a cavity on a pad (46) leaving a non-wetting surface (42) and a wettable surface (43) exposed. Interconnect material (56) is formed on a non-wetting surface (52) and a wettable surface (53) of pad 57. Interconnect material (56) is reflowed forming an interconnect ball (74) on a wettable surface (73). Surface tension causes interconnect material (56) when reflowed to flow from a non-wetting surface (72) to the wettable surface (73) and ball up to form the interconnect ball (74).
