Abstract:
External electrical connectors and methods of forming such external electrical connectors are discussed. A method includes forming an external electrical connector structure on a substrate. The forming the external electrical connector structure includes plating a pillar on the substrate at a first agitation level affected at the substrate in a first solution. The method further includes plating solder on the external electrical connector structure at a second agitation level affected at the substrate in a second solution. The second agitation level affected at the substrate is greater than the first agitation level affected at the substrate. The plating the solder further forms a shell on a sidewall of the external electrical connector structure.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n placing a conductive contact of a semiconductor wafer into a first plating solution; increasing a first agitation level of the first plating solution to a first constant plating agitation; plating a conductive layer over the conductive contact at the first constant plating agitation; placing the conductive contact of the semiconductor wafer into a second plating solution; increasing a second agitation level of the second plating solution to a second constant plating agitation level, the second constant plating agitation level being higher than the first constant plating agitation, the second constant plating agitation level flexing a photoresist away from the conductive contact; and plating a solder onto the conductive layer at the second constant plating agitation level, the solder comprising silver.
