Abstract
A microcavity structure is provided. The structure comprises a cavity layout that enables centering of reflowed solder at each of one or more interconnect locations and protrusion of the reflowed solder sufficiently from the cavity to facilitate wetting. Techniques are also provided for producing a microcavity structure, for using injection molded solder (IMS) for micro bumping, as well as for using injection molded solder (IMS) for three-dimensional (3D) packaging.
