The present invention discloses a bump for a semiconductor package, a semiconductor package applying the bump, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor package. As a second bump unit contacting an electrode terminal of a PCB has a smaller width than a first bump unit contacting an electrode pad of a semiconductor chip through a metal adhering layer, even if a pitch between the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip does not correspond to the pitch between the electrode terminals of the PCB, contact reliability is improved by the bump. In addition, the bump does not contact lines adjacent to the electrode terminal of the PCB, thereby preventing a mis-operation of the semiconductor package. Accordingly, the pitch between the electrode pads of the semiconductor chip and the pitch between the bumps can be minimized.

A connection between a shaft and a coupling that preferably involves involute shaped splines is designed to reduce stress from torque applied to the shaft by a drive motor. To avoid stress concentration at the mouth of the coupling on startup, the shaft splines are made to taper from the shaft end down to the spline end. As a result, the initial contact with the coupling splines occurs within the coupling and removed from it mouth. The shaft is allowed to elastically twist in response to the applied torque as the contact area increases with shaft twisting and the contact line moves toward the mouth of the coupling. Stress concentration that formerly occurred at the coupling mouth is alleviated as some shaft elastic twist occurs without adding stress to the shaft splines until coupling contact is made.
