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 14):
An apparatus including a package comprising:\n the package comprising: a solder resist; a first electrode embedded in a bottom portion of the solder resist; a solder bump extending through the solder resist to the first electrode, the solder bump including a nickel, palladium, and tin (NPT) stack; a second electrode embedded in the bottom portion of the solder resist in parallel with the first electrode; a second solder bump extending through the solder resist to the second electrode, the second solder bump including a second NPT stack; a third electrode embedded in the bottom portion of the solder resist in parallel with the first electrode and the second electrode; a third solder bump extending through the solder resist to the third electrode, the third solder bump including a third NPT stack; an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge configured to provide high-bandwidth connection between a first die and a second die electrically coupled to the first NPT stack; wherein a pitch between the first solder bump and the second solder bump is different than a pitch between the second solder bump and the third solder bump; wherein the first electrode extends through a portion of the solder resist and through a first dielectric layer to a second dielectric layer; wherein the first NPT stack contacts the first electrode; and wherein the second electrode extends through a portion of the solder resist and through the first dielectric layer and contacts the second electrode.
