Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a bump electrode using a simple process by forming a intermediate layer at an electrode on a semiconductor substrate by the replacement plating method, executing electroless plating on it, and then performing fluxing metal plating on it to eliminate the removal process of metal layer by the photolithography method. CONSTITUTION:An aluminum electrode pad 3 is formed on an oxide film 2 on a semiconductor substrate 1. Then, after removing the oxide film of the electrode pad 3 by immersing it into aluminum solution, an intermediate layer 4 is formed by the replacement plating method using palladium and zinc and then an electroless nickel plating layer 5 is formed. Then, for preventing oxidation or easing inspection of appearance after bump formation, an electroless copper plating layer 6 is formed. For example, a solder flux 12 is applied to it. A fused solder 9 within a jet fusing solder tank 8 is allowed to convect in the direction marked by an arrow 10 for producing a jet part 16, the semiconductor substrate 1 is allowed to run in the direction marked by an arrow 11, a solder layer is formed on the electroless plating layer 6, and a semispherical bump-shaped solder layer 7 is obtained as the solder layer is cooled down.
