  • Publication number: 20030109079
    Abstract: In the re-wiring formation process of a WLCSP, at least some of the re-wiring lines 3 that connect the bonding pads 1 and bump pads 2 of the semiconductor chips are formed using a photolithographic process that does not use a photomask. In this re-wiring formation process, standard portions are formed by development following photomask exposure, and portions that are to be designed corresponding to customer specifications are subjected to additional development following additional maskless exposure in the final stage.

  • Publication number: 20030029908
    Abstract: Forming solder bumps each having a constant height by surely supplying onto each of electrode pads a solder ball corresponding to a predetermined volume while omitting Au plating performed on the electrode pads onto which the solder bumps are to be formed. For achieving the forming of the solder bumps, the adhesive film is formed instead of the Au plating, the adhesive film being used as an oxidation-preventing film and as film for temporarily fixing each of the solder balls, the solder balls being supplied by stencil mask or the vacuum adsorbing mask.

  • Publication number: 20020153539
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique capable of enhancing the degree of freedom in the layout of a rerouting layer in a wafer level CSP in which defect repairing is performed by cutting a fuse. More specifically, after the defect repairing is performed by irradiating a laser beam to a fuse, an organic passivation layer (photo-sensitive polyimide layer) is filled in a fuse opening. Thereafter, a rerouting layer, a bump land, an uppermost wiring layer, and a solder bump are formed on the organic passivation layer. In the following steps of the defect repairing, the baking process to cure an elastomer layer and the uppermost protection layer is conducted at a temperature below 260° C. in order to prevent the variance of the refresh times of memory cells.

  • Patent number: 5480048
    Abstract: A multilayer wiring board fabricating method and a multilayer wiring board fabricated with use of the method that a solvent-free fluid polymer precursor is put on a wiring layer of a base substrate, and space among the wirings is exhausted and is filled with the precursor, and the precursor is hardened under a hydrostatic pressure and then the next wiring layer is formed before the above process is repeated one or more times. The multilayer wiring board fabricating method is excellent in the mass productivity and low cost and in that the wiring can be made highly dense with the substrate having vertical via conductors for connection among the conductor layers.
