Original Abstract Submitted

In some examples, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package comprises forming a copper member on a surface; applying a photoresist to the copper member and the surface; and forming a cavity in the photoresist above the copper member. The cavity has a first volume with a first diameter and a second volume with a second diameter larger than the first diameter. The second volume is more proximal to the copper member than the first volume. The method also includes forming a nickel member in the second volume forming a palladium member in the first volume.
