Description of the invention (1) [Field of invention] The present invention relates to a method for clearly identifying a wafer identification mark ', and particularly to a method for making a wafer after a bump forming step. The method of clearly identifying the identification mark. [Background of the Invention]. In the semiconductor process, in order to be able to easily identify each wafer ', generally, the wafer surface is first engraved or numbered. After that, He Wo 1 reads its serial number with an Optical Character Reader 1 (Optical Character Reader, hereinafter referred to as OCR) to carry out data management of the wafer. ^ The serial numbers on the surface of the wafer are collectively referred to as wafer identification marks. ^ & 1D). However, when the bump formation step is performed on the wafer surface: ii The wafer identification mark is often covered by some of the previously formed bumps. The $ i ^ circle identification 5 mark becomes unclear and cannot be read by 0CR. Or, if the situation occurs once the wafer ca n’t be read, it will generate additional processing costs, which will increase the overall manufacturing cost and lengthen the whole [Summary of Invention] 馔 ι 転 凡There is a clock here. The main day of the invention & MM is open. When you say η, it is to provide a way to make the wafer identification mark clear after the step of forming y. Round, the surface of the wafer has a shape method, which is applicable to one, and includes the following steps: forming a photoresist layer on the surface of the wafer in the area where the wafer identification mark is formed; Identification mark

Formula "Details [Example] The factory and the photo are shown in Fig. 1", which are », ι, and% views showing a wafer engraved with a wafer identification mark. In the figure, the area “10 is a wafer” A is the area marked with the wafer identification A 2. Secondly, referring to FIG. 2, this figure is an enlarged view showing a part of area A in FIG. η First, as shown in FIG. 3a, a photoresist layer is deposited on the surface of the area A. The above photoresist can be used, for example, dry film photoresist (Polar Film Resistor), etc., and can be a positive photoresistor or Negative photoresist. Here, a negative photoresist is used for illustration. Next, as shown in FIG. 3b, a first exposure step is performed on the photoresist layer 20 at a predetermined position using a mask 30 having a predetermined pattern 32. As mentioned above, since the photoresist layer 20 is a negative type photoresist, the photoresist layer under the pattern 32 will be blocked by the pattern 32 and become an unexposed photoresist portion 33 (refer to FIG. 3c described later). (The part of the dotted circle shown in the figure), that is, the unexposed photoresist portion 33 should be developed in the developing step. Then, as shown in FIG. 3c, the area a is shifted slightly downward (in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. ^) To another predetermined position, and then a second exposure step is performed on the photoresist layer 20. In this way, the aforementioned unexposed portion 33 can be exposed without being developed in a developing step described later. Finally, a developing step is performed. ^ 'According to the above method, you can simply use the double exposure step
