Abstract A Cu pillar bump was fabricated by consecutive plating of Cu and Sn. Here, we investigated the change in shape of Sn, and the formation of intermetallic compound during the reflow process. At first, we made a cylindrical shape of Sn in various thickness and then, the Sn was changed into a truncated sphere (Sn bump) on a Cu pillar through the reflow process. When the Sn thickness was a third of the Cu pillar diameter, the reflowed bump radius had a minimum value and the bump-height change at that time had a maximum value. Such results were well understood based on the truncated sphere model.
