Abstract
A semiconductor device having a terminal site () including a flat pad () of a first metal covered by a layer () of dielectric material, the layer over the pad parallel to the pad and having a window of a first diameter () exposing the surface of the underlying pad. The terminal site further has a patch-shaped film () of a second metal covering the surface of the exposed first metal and the surface of an annulus of the dielectric layer framing the window, the film patch having a second diameter () greater than the first diameter; and a bump () of a third metal adhering to the film, the bump having a third diameter () smaller than the second diameter, whereby the film protrudes like a flange from the bump.
