1. A flip-chip packaging process, comprising:
providing a wafer, wherein a bond pad and a passivation layer are formed sequentially on the wafer, the passivation layer exposing a portion of the bond pad;
forming an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer over the bond pad and the passivation layer;
forming a photoresist layer on the UBM layer with an opening formed for exposing a portion of the UBM layer;
filling a copper material into the opening;
removing the photoresist layer and the other portion of the UBM layer that is not covered by the copper material, thereby forming a copper pillar having a plurality of external surfaces;
forming a solder on a substrate; and
embedding the copper pillar in the solder without a reflow step, wherein the solder covers substantially all of the external surfaces of the copper pillar.
