So far, the manufacturing process of the flat top bump structure of this embodiment has been substantially completed. In addition, after the second patterned photoresist layer 42 is removed, a cutting process may be performed on the substrate 210 to form a plurality of wafer structures (not shown). The detailed structure of the flat-top bump structure will be described below. Figure 3 is a top plan view of a flat top bump structure in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 2D, the flat top bump structure is adapted to be disposed on a substrate 210.
