Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of disconnection, which is caused due to a bad coverage, of a barrier metal film and also to prevent a stress from being concentrated on opening parts at the time of forming the barrier metal film and moreover, to make it possible to prevent a passivation film from being broken. SOLUTION: A metal pad 22 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 2 and after a passivation film 23 is formed on the whole surface of the substrate 21, the formation of connection holes for connecting the pad 22 with Au bumps is conducted, but at this time, the film 23 in open parts is not completely etched by a first photolithography/etching to leave the film 23. After that, photolithography/etching is applied to an area whose size is smaller than the diameter of the first opening in the film 23 and openings are formed stepwise. Then, a metal film 24, which is used as a barrier metal film or the like for the Au bumps use, is formed on the whole surface of the substrate 21 by a sputtering method. Then, Au is precipitated and the Au bumps 25 are obtained.

Thereafter, A is determined by the technique shown in the first embodiment.
A u bump is formed. Further, as described above, the opening order may be either from the outside or the inside. As for the etching conditions, it is desirable to perform anisotropic etching for the second etching in the case where a hole is formed first from the inside in order to prevent a change in the shape of the hole in the first etching.
In other etchings, either anisotropic etching or isotropic etching may be employed.

Furthermore, although the formation of the Au bump has been described, the material is not limited to this as long as it can be electroplated. As described above, according to the present invention, since the opening of the insulating film on the pad is formed in a step shape, the step between the connection portion between the metal pad and the bump is reduced as compared with the conventional structure. In addition, disconnection of the barrier metal caused by poor coverage can be prevented.
It is possible to prevent stress from being concentrated on the opening at the time of forming the barrier metal, and to prevent the destruction of the passivation film.
