An integrated circuit (IC) chip including solder structures for connection to a package substrate, an IC chip package, and a method of forming the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, an IC chip is provided comprising a wafer having a plurality of solder structures disposed above the wafer. A ball limiting metallurgy (BLM) layer is disposed between each of the plurality of solder structures and the wafer. At least one of the plurality of solder structures has a first diameter and a first height, and at least one other solder structure has a second diameter and a second height. The differing heights and volumes of solder structures facilitate solder volume compensation for chip join improvement on the IC chip side rather than the package side. |
