Abstract:
An electroless nickel, electroless palladium, electroless tin stack and associated methods are shown. An example method to form a solder bump may include forming a layer of a second material over a first material at a base of a trench in a solder resist layer. The first material includes nickel and the second material includes palladium. The method further includes depositing a third material that includes tin on the second material using an electroless deposition process, and forming a solder bump out of the third material using a reflow and deflux process.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the nickel of each NPT stack is disposed at the base and from the base to a top surface of the solder resist layer along a sidewall of a trench in the solder resist layer, and the palladium of each NPT stack is disposed on and conforms to the nickel to the top surface of the solder resist layer.
