Selective application of solder bumps in an integrated circuit package.
Solder bumps are selectively applied in a solder bump integrated circuit packaging
process so that portions of a circuit can be effectively disabled. The bumps may
be selectively applied either to a die or to the substrate using multiple solder
masks, one for each pattern of solder bumps desired or can be otherwise applied
in multiple patterns depending upon which portions of the circuitry are to be active
and which are to be disabled.
