Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a first-order structure of an integrated circuit wafer, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a substrate for a first-order structure, which is a gold finger and a contact pad of a substrate The outer surface is plated with a layer of nickel gold in a process and structure to provide good electrical connection and wear resistance of the gold finger and the contact pad. [Prior Art] Integrated circuit chips must be integrated with an electronic system to perform their functions. In the industry of integrated circuit chip assembly, the fabrication of the wafer itself is generally referred to as a so-called zero-order configuration, and the process of mounting the wafer to a substrate (or carrier board, substrate) or lead frame is called a program. Pdmary level package 'The process of mounting the wafer of the first-order structure to the printed circuit board of the module or interface card, and finally mounting the module or interface card to the motherboard or system board is called Third-order construction. In the first-order structure, in addition to the fine lines, there are many electrical contacts (or 1/0 contacts, such as bonding pad'bmnp pad, baU pad, c〇ntact pad #). . These ι/〇 contacts usually have a layer of gold (Ni/Au) on the surface of the surface to ensure the stability of the electrical connection to the wafer, or to protect the metal nucleus of the metal (f). The splicing (4) is plated with this layer of gold deposits. Usually, a large number of electric money wires must be arranged on the substrate to supply current for conducting electricity. The arrangement of these electroplated wires not only occupies the area of the substrate, but also easily interferes with the high frequency wafers when the high frequency wafer is used. Therefore, in recent years, there have been several substrate processing methods for so-called electroless wires (buss less) in order to solve the problems caused by the arrangement of electroplated wires. Among them, a method proposed by the industry called GPP (Gold Pattern Plating) is not to arranging wires for electroplating, but to plate all nickel gold on the wires of the substrate itself (and thus all contact pads). Although this prior art avoids the layout of the electroplated wires, the surface of all the lines is plated with nickel gold, so the production cost is quite high, and in addition, the solder mask finally applied to the surface of the substrate is The material properties are different from those of the nickel-gold layer so that they cannot be stably adhered. In addition, in the Republic of China Patent Publication No. 515,061, another process technology is disclosed. The process technology is to cover a layer of conductive film on a substrate on which a circuit layer has been defined, and then define an I/O contact by means of image transfer. The region is then plated with a nickel-gold layer on the surface of the contact pad. The conductive film provides a conductive path for the current during plating, thus avoiding the routing of the plated wire. There is also a process technology, which is disclosed in the Republic of China Patent Bulletin No. 538,152. This process technology is to first lay a thin copper layer on the surface of the substrate, and then use secondary image transfer to define the copper plating of the line. The area and the nickel-plated gold area of the contact pad are then removed from the secondary image transfer photoresist and the thin copper layer, and finally coated with a solder resist. Although the above-mentioned process method avoids the problem that the nickel plating gold area of the GPP is too large, and the nickel gold and the solder resist are in contact with a large area, the process steps are too long and are not suitable for the metal finish of the substrate. Not the disadvantages of the same application of 1254393. For example, popular consumer electronic products such as digital cameras, digital video recorders, MP3 players, electronic dictionaries, PDAs, multimedia mobile phones, etc. are indispensable small-sized flash memory cards (such as MMC cards) on one side of the substrate. It has a gold finger as a plug and has an electrical contact on the other side of the substrate as a wire bond. The conventional electroless wire process technology is not suitable for such products. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a process method for a first-order fabric board that is suitable for applications requiring different metal treatments on both sides of the substrate (e.g., MMC card mounting). The most important feature of the process method proposed by the present invention is that the circuit is formed by acid etching on the upper surface of the substrate, and the second image transfer is performed on the lower surface of the substrate to define the gold finger portion of the desired plating. Then, the gold finger is first plated with a layer of nickel gold, and then the contact pad is plated with a layer of nickel gold. The process method proposed by the present invention coats the contact pad and the gold finger with a nickel-gold layer by means of an electroless wire, thereby increasing the effective wiring area of the substrate surface and avoiding noise interference caused by the plating of the plating wire. The process method proposed by the invention can avoid the disadvantages of the prior art that the nickel-gold area is too large, the process is tedious, and the reliability is low. The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and claims. However, it is to be understood that the appended drawings are purely illustrative of the spirit of the invention, and are not considered as a definition of the scope of the invention. For the definition of the scope of the invention, please refer to the attached patent application. [Embodiment] Referring to Figure 1 for a specific embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the steps of the present invention. First, a substrate 100 is provided. As shown in FIG. 1a, the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate 100 are respectively provided with a wiring layer 110 and have a plurality of via holes 120. Next, on the upper surface of the substrate 100, the conductor wiring 112 is formed by dry film or liquid photoresist image transfer and acid etching, and the result is as shown in Fig. 1b. Then, on the lower surface of the substrate 100, the second image transfer is also performed in the form of a dry film or a liquid photoresist to define a gold finger region requiring nickel plating, and the result is as shown in FIG. . Next, the wiring layer 110 is used as the conduction of the plating current by electroplating, and the nickel-gold layer 114 is deposited on the gold finger region defined in the previous step, and the result is as shown in Fig. Id. Please note that the via hole wall and the partially connected conductor line 112 are also plated with a layer of nickel gold. The process then removes the photoresist from the second image transfer, and then performs a third image transfer in the form of a dry film or a liquid photoresist, and forms a contact pad region that needs to be plated with nickel in an illustrative manner. The result is shown in the figure le. 1254393 Next, in the form of an electric clock, the nickel pad layer 116 is plated on the contact pad region defined in the previous step, and the result is as shown in Fig. If. Finally, a patterned solder resist is printed to complete the fabrication of the substrate. The features and spirit of the present invention are intended to be more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments. On the contrary, the purpose is to cover a variety of changes and equivalence arrangements within the scope of the patent application to which this creative is intended.
