Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a material layer adapted to efficiently stop alpha particles that are substantially generated within a solder bump of a flip chip device. The materials used for stopping the alpha particles are compatible with standard back-end processing and do not degrade adhesion of the solder bump to the remaining substrate. Moreover, a low electrical resistance is maintained and heat dissipation may be improved.
