The signal transmission method between the conventional wafer and the substrate by wire (wier-bon d i n g) has become the bottleneck of the development of high-speed performance ICs. In order to solve this problem and cooperate with the rapid development of the 1C process, the industry has adopted Flip-Chip Packaging. Because the difference in bonding materials can be divided into two types: metal bonding and non-metal bonding. Metal bonding materials include solder bumps and gold bumps. Non-metal bonding materials include conductive adhesives. Conductive Adhesive (ECA) and Anisotropic Conductive Film (acf) are still the largest block of solder bumps. Regardless of the flip chip technology, bump production is indispensable. The electronic and mechanical characteristics of bumps are related to the quality of flip chip assembly. Therefore, the provider of fabrication technology has worked hard to improve the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the bumps to meet customer specifications. 1236755 [Summary of the invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a solder bump structure of a flip-chip package 'to improve the mechanical characteristics of the solder bump structure.
