  • Publication number: 20090149014
    Abstract: At step S101, a TiW film is formed by a sputtering method so as to cover a surface protection film and pad electrodes formed on a surface of a semiconductor element. Subsequently, an Au film is formed on the TiW film. At step S103, Au bumps are formed on the Au film using the Au film as a plating electrode. At step S105, unnecessary parts of the Au film are removed. At step S106, unnecessary parts of the TiW film are removed. At step S107, iodine left in areas where the unnecessary parts of the TiW film have been removed, is removed.

  • Patent number: 7005741
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of electrode pads aligned on the semiconductor substrate, and a plurality of bump electrodes placed on each electrode pad, wherein the plurality of bump electrodes on the electrode pad are aligned in a direction orthogonal to a direction where the electrode pads are aligned. A manufacturing method of the semiconductor device includes the steps of patterning a photoresist which serves as a bump electrode forming use mask on the semiconductor substrate having formed thereon the electrode pads and forming a bump electrode in a perpendicular straight wall shape to be thinner than the photoresist by plating the bump electrode forming use metal to the electrode pad.
