Abstract
Wafer-level package semiconductor devices are described that have a smallest distance between two adjacent attachment bumps smaller than about twenty-five percent (25%) of a pitch between the two adjacent attachment bumps. The smallest distance between the two adjacent attachment bumps allows for an increase in the number of attachment bumps per area without reducing the size of the bumps, which increases solder reliability. The increased solder reliability may reduce stress to the attachment bumps, particularly stress caused by CTE mismatch during thermal cycling tests, dynamic deformation during drop tests or cyclic bending tests, and so on.
