A method for forming multi-layer bumps on a substrate includes depositing
an adhesive or a flux on the substrate, depositing a first metal powder
on the adhesive, and melting or reflowing the adhesive and first metal
powder to form first bumps. An adhesive or a flux and a second metal
powder are then deposited on the first bumps, and melted to form second
bumps on the first bumps to form multi-layer bumps. The multi-layer bumps
are formed without the need for any wet chemicals.
