A second bump is disposed between a semiconductor die and the first bump. The second bump is reflowed to electrically connect the semiconductor die to the first bump. After reflow of the second bump, the standoff bump has a height at least 70% of the second bump prior to reflow to maintain separation between the semiconductor die and substrate.
