Description of the invention (\) The present invention relates to a re-wound wafer structure and a process therefor, and more particularly to a re-wound wafer structure with an elastic layer and a wire bonding pad located in a component area and a process therefor. In recent years, with the vigorous development of the electronics industry, the widespread use of semiconductors has been promoted. Therefore, in response to the needs of the electronics industry, many technologies related to semiconductor processes have also been developing rapidly. The semiconductor process is roughly divided into a front-end process and a back-end process. The front-end process includes the formation of a semiconductor substrate, that is, silicon single crystal growth and epitaxial technology, and the manufacture of semiconductor components, such as MOS processes, multi-metal interconnects, etc .; Packaging process. The purpose of encapsulation is to put the original fragile die into clothing to protect it from moisture, heat, and noise, and to provide a signal connection between the chip and the substrate for easy use and testing. The purpose of the wire bond in the packaging process is to connect the signal contacts on the chip, that is, the solder pads, to the contacts of the carrier with ultra-fine gold wires, thereby integrating the chip. The circuit signal of the circuit is transmitted to the outside world. In the process of wire bonding, because the welding needs to be supplemented by ultrasonic vibration, the impact energy under the area where the pad is located is often very large. Therefore, the area under the pad is generally not used as a product. The body circuit components are used to avoid damage to the wafer during the bonding process. The area where the integrated circuit components are not arranged is called a non-element area, and the other areas where the integrated circuit components are arranged are called component areas. Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a conventional solder pad configuration position corresponding to a signal contact position. These include: a wafer 110, a bonding pad 120, an inner pin 130, and a bonding wire 140. Take the leadframe package as an example, the chip 110 3 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the note on the back 3 to write this page) ---- Order- ------- Line j Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 594953 Printed by the Consumers’ Cooperative of the Ministry of Economics and the Intellectual Property of India Printed on the Invention Note (> /) The Ting 配置 120 is configured and connected to the signal__ At the position where the inner pin u0 becomes the closest distance, the welding wire 12o and the inner pin n0 are connected by a ting line 140. . Generally speaking, the bonding pads on the chip are usually located at the closest distance to the contact point connected to the signal, to facilitate the wiring work; and the solder pads are connected to the signal on the PCB through the contact point and the carrier. Click Connect. However, sometimes the pin definition of the signal contact on the PCB is changed, or the position of the corresponding contact and the static pad violates the principle of the shortest distance mentioned above due to the change of the product requirements of different customers. To reposition the pads on the wafer so that they can respond to changes in the position of the contacts. In order to prevent the redistribution winding from being too complicated and avoid increasing the chip area, the best solution is to make the solder which was originally located in the non-component area, and the pad changes its position to the component area. However, in the wire bonding process, the components on the wafer will be harmed. Therefore, how to propose an effective method to make the re-wound chip safe during the wire bonding process has become an important issue today. Therefore, the present invention provides a rewinding package which can effectively prevent the damage caused to the semiconductor wafer due to the eccentricity of the pads from the non-component area to the component area after the final rewinding. In order to ensure that the product package of semiconductor packages # provides a re-wound wafer structure and its clothing, the component area and the non-component area on a wafer with integrated circuits are covered with an insulating layer.
