A print mask is used to form bumps on barrier metal layers of a wafer. The
mask comprises a plurality of elongated perforations disposed in a linear
arrangement such that paste can be applied to an object to be printed on
via the perforations. Each of the perforations includes an edge disposed
along the longitudinal direction, and the edge is inclined with respect
to the direction perpendicular to the direction of arranging the
perforations.
