First, as shown in FIG. 3, a chemical-resistant protective film 6 with good adhesion is uniformly applied to the entire main surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, which has been checked and marked by electrical measurement on the defective electrodes 3a in advance. do. As this chemical-resistant protective film, for example, photoresist, polyimide resin, etc. are used, and after coating, the protective film is cured by exposure to light or heating. Note that marks attached to defective electrodes are not shown.

Next, as shown in Fig. 4, only the portion of the protective film on the marked defective electrode 3a is scratched with a knife and most of it is removed, exposing the defective electrode 3a underlying the removed portion. let At this time, all the normal electrodes 3 are covered with the protective film 6, and only the defective electrode 3a to be removed is exposed. Alternatively, the protective film on the defective electrode 3a may be scratched with a knife to the extent that it reaches the underlying defective electrode 3a without having a large opening. Subsequently, the semiconductor substrate 1 in this state is immersed in a container 9 containing an etching solution 8 while being placed on a jig 7 as shown in FIG. When these are pulled out of the container 9 after a predetermined period of time, only the defective electrode 3a has been etched away, so when the protective film 6 is finally removed, the state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained, and the treatment process of the present invention can be carried out.

Note that as a method of removing only the protective film 6 on the defective electrode 2a, it is possible to use a photoetching method, but in practice, since the defective electrode to be removed exists in unspecified locations, a photomask is manufactured. This is extremely inefficient and the photo-etching method is not appropriate in this case.

As explained above, according to the method of the present invention,
The normal electrodes are covered with a protective film with good adhesion, and only the defective electrodes are reliably etched away, so there is no risk of damaging the normal electrodes, and some of the defective electrodes remain. There is no such imperfection. In addition, regardless of the shape of the electrode, even if there are multiple defective electrodes, the etching process can be completed in a single process, and by choosing the size of the etching container appropriately,
It has many advantages, such as extremely high processing efficiency because a large number of semiconductor devices can be immersed at the same time.
