Abstract:
A method includes forming a first dielectric layer over a conductive pad, forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, and etching the second dielectric layer to form a first opening, with a top surface of the first dielectric layer exposed to the first opening. A template layer is formed to fill the first opening. A second opening is then formed in the template layer and the first dielectric layer, with a top surface of the conductive pad exposed to the second opening. A conductive pillar is formed in the second opening.

Claim (Index 18):
The structure of  claim 16  further comprising a solder region, wherein the solder region comprises:\n an inner edge contacting a sidewall of the conductive pillar; and \n an outer edge contacting an inner sidewall of the sidewall portion of the dielectric liner.
