The present invention discloses a bump for a semiconductor package, a semiconductor package applying the bump, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor package. As a second bump unit contacting an electrode terminal of a PCB has a smaller width than a first bump unit contacting an electrode pad of a semiconductor chip through a metal adhering layer, even if a pitch between the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip does not correspond to the pitch between the electrode terminals of the PCB, contact reliability is improved by the bump. In addition, the bump does not contact lines adjacent to the electrode terminal of the PCB, thereby preventing a mis-operation of the semiconductor package. Accordingly, the pitch between the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip and the pitch between the bumps can be minimized.

A novel filler treatment comprising the preparation of swollen starch-latex compositions, prepared in the presence or absence of co-additives, and the addition of the said composition to a filler suspension, has been developed. Use of the treated filler during papermaking improves filler retention and produces filled papers where addition of the filler has only a minimal negative effect on strength properties. The swollen starch-latex compositions can be prepared in a batch or jet cooker, or by mixing with hot water under controlled conditions (i.e., temperature, pH, mixing, mixing time) in order to make the starch granules swell sufficiently to improve their properties as a filler additive but avoiding excess swelling leading to their rupture. The swollen starch-latex composition is then rapidly mixed with the filler slurry, preferably in a static mixer, and added to the papermaking furnish at a point prior to the headbox of the paper machine. The starch-latex composition can be used with wood-free or wood-containing furnishes. The treated filler is easily retained in the web during papermaking, improves drainage, and gives sheets having good formation. Sheets made with the treated fillers have higher bonding and tensile strengths than sheets produced using filler treated with either swollen starch alone or latex alone. Retention and drainage are further improved when conventional retention aid chemicals are added to the furnish containing the treated filler. The use of swollen starch-latex compositions could allow the papermaker to increase the filler content of the paper without sacrificing dry strength properties or increasing the amount, and hence the cost, of the retention aid added. The combination of swollen starch and latex could be used as furnish additives in the manufacture of both filled grades and grades that contain no filler such as sack papers and paperboard products.
