Various embodiments include methods of forming interconnect structures, and the structures formed by such methods. In one embodiment, an interconnect structure can include: a photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) layer including a pedestal portion; a controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bump overlying the pedestal portion of the PSPI layer; a solder overlying the C4 bump and contacting a side of the C4 bump; and an underfill layer abutting the pedestal portion of the PSPI and the C4 bump, wherein the underfill layer and the solder form a first interface separated from the PSPI pedestal.
