Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a semiconductor device package, which includes a substrate with a contact pad. A non-solder ball is coupled to the contact pad at a contact pad interface surface. A layer of solder is disposed over an outer surface of the non-solder ball, and has an inner surface and an outer surface which are generally concentric with the outer surface of the non-solder ball. An intermediate layer separates the non-solder ball and the layer of solder. The intermediate layer is distinct in composition from both the non-solder ball and the layer of solder. Sidewalls of the layer of solder are curved or sphere-like and terminate at a planar surface, which is disposed at a maximum height of the layer of solder as measured from the contact pad interface surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming a package. The method includes coupling a first package component to a second package component using a first set of conductive elements. A first polymer-comprising material is formed over the second package component and surrounding the first set of conductive elements. The first polymer-comprising material is cured to solidify the first polymer-comprising material. A part of the first polymer-comprising material is removed to expose an upper surface of the second package component. The second package component is coupled to a third package component using a second set of conductive elements that are formed onto the upper surface of the second package component.
