Additional Content
bump connector bump connectors a bump that provides electrical connection. Examples include solder balls or copper pillars.an electrically-conductive connector on the electrodes or bond pads of a chip or package part, for electrical connection between objects. Examples include solder balls or copper pillars. dummy bump dummy bumps a bump having similar properties to a bump connector (such as shape or material), for purposes other than electrical connection, such as mechanical connection. thermal bump thermal bumps a bump having similar properties to a bump connector (such as shape or material), for purposes other than electrical connection, such as for thermal connection between objects.
