Point 'patterning contact point generation method for semiconductor process to improve the quality of electric ore. [Prior Art] The metallization process can be achieved by processes such as steaming, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and electroplating, and is an extremely important part of semiconductor process technology. Among them, the electroplating process equipment has been widely used in the semiconductor industry due to its low cost and fast film deposition speed. Especially in the flip chip fabrication technology which is required to have a high accumulation degree and a short transmission path, the use of electroplating to form metal bumps has become a key process technology. 5 Referring to FIG. 1, after the semiconductor process is completed on the wafer 7, each layer of the circuit component is fabricated, and a layer of tantalum nitride is covered around the metal pad of the input/output port 8 and the line region other than the pad, or the active region. The ruthenium oxide protective layer 71. The metal bump process is firstly coated with a metal film 72 (known as UBM layer, Under Bump 〇MetallUrgy) on the surface of the wafer above the solder bump 8 and the cap layer 71, and a plating seed layer 73, and When the photoresist layer 75 is coated on the plating core layer 73, a via hole is opened for subsequent key processing and bump 76 formation (and a dielectric layer is also provided between the protective layer 71 and the UBM layer 72). By). Among them, the UBM layer 72 is used to provide adhesion and diffusion barriers, and the electric 1269422 nucleation layer 73 is used as an initial layer for subsequent plating treatment. After the wetting and UBM protective layer 74 (usually copper or nickel metal) is fabricated by an electric ore process, the lead-tin alloy 76 is plated by an electroplating process, and the photoresist layer 75 and other unnecessary metals are removed. After the layer is processed by reflow (refl〇w), the zinc 5 tin is converted into a spherical bump 76, as shown in FIG. In the process of electric forging, as shown in FIG. 3, a cathode metal pin 9 connected to a plating power supply device (not shown) is used to pierce the photoresist layer 75 with its sharp front end, and The elasticity of the cathode metal needle 9 itself or the fixture spring maintains the close contact 10 between the cathode metal needle 9 and the plating core layer 73, so after the wafer 7 is placed in the plating solution, the cathode metal needle 9 and the plating tank are placed. When the cathodes are connected, the metal ions in the plating solution are gradually attached to the plating core layer 73 exposed in the via holes to complete the electroplating process. However, the above plating method has several problems: (1) When the sharp needle 9 pierces the photoresist layer 75, photoresist debris is generated, and the light 15 may hinder the debris from falling into the plating solution, possibly following The flow of the plating solution enters the via hole 81 to form a plating defect. (2) The contact area between the large needle 9 and the electric nucleus seed layer 73 is small. When a large electric current is introduced, the local electric charge layer 73 near the spur point will be partially overheated and burned to interrupt the current supply. In order to increase the contact area between the sharp needle 9 and the electric (four) (four) 73, the photoresist layer 75 is also obliquely penetrated, and the weight of the upper cover 90 of the wafer is used to compress the cathode metal needle 9 to deform, as shown in FIG. As shown, but the above disadvantages (丨) are still unavoidable. (3) If there is a dielectric layer below the electro-minening nucleus layer 73, the sharp needle 9 can easily pierce the electro-recorded nuclear layer 73 and the dielectric layer 77 to reach the surface of the wafer 7, and the electrical property of the 1268422 Poor connection, no causing electroplating reaction between the cathode metal needle 9 and the electroplating core layer method, as shown in Fig. 5. [Invention] 5 10 15 20 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a needle capable of producing a cathode metal needle. Many disadvantages in the __ _ plating process of the contact 。 乂 乂 乂 疋 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在Performing on the hard substrate, comprising the steps of: forming a dielectric layer on the electroplated core layer; B) forming at least two windows on the erbium layer; respectively, exposing the surface of the electroplated nucleation layer a region only & a region and a second region, the first region being a donor-cathode needle (four), the second region being the location where the heart performs a chemical reaction of the bond. In the second preferred embodiment, the invention Pattern plating cathode contact point generation method for semiconductor process And performing on the hard substrate having the first dielectric layer, the steps of: a) forming at least a first window and a second window on the first dielectric layer ± to expose the surface of the substrate respectively a first region and a second region. b) forming a plating core layer on the first dielectric layer and the first and second regions, c) forming a second dielectric layer on the plating core layer And step d) forming a plurality of third and fourth windows on the second dielectric layer to expose at least a portion of the surface of the plating core layer above the first region and the second region, respectively, for respectively A cathode electroplating needle contacts and is subjected to electroplating chemical reaction. In the above embodiment, since the region where the cathode electroplating needle contacts 6 1269422 is generated, there is no problem of chipping, in particular, the cathode electric forging needle Since a needle having a smooth front end is used, in addition to being electrically connected to the electroless core layer, the soft dielectric layer or the like is not pierced. Therefore, the plating quality can be improved. hair The foregoing and other technical contents, features, and functions will be apparent from the following detailed description of the first and second preferred embodiments of the accompanying drawings. Referring to Figure 6, the semiconductor process of the present invention The first preferred embodiment of the pattern plating cathode contact φ 1 generation method is performed on a hard substrate 1 having a plating core layer u. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 refers to a wafer having a hard surface. For example, if the surface is a bare crystal or a metal layer, there may be many semiconductor processing steps under the surface and a plurality of metal layers and dielectric layers # are sequentially formed. However, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, the illustration is not particularly limited. Each layer structure is illustrated, and only the relevant steps of the present invention are clarified. As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, after a plating core layer 11 has been sequentially sputtered on the substrate i, the plating core layer 11 may be copper, Gold, silver, enamel or other metals that are not easily attacked by the developer during the photoresist development process. The present invention firstly forms a dielectric layer 12 on the electroplated core layer n. In the present embodiment, the dielectric layer 12 refers to a photoresist layer made of polyamidamine (PI). A dielectric layer is formed on the plating core layer 1 by means of transfer coating or the like. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the pattern of the plurality of windows 31 is transferred to the dielectric layer 12 by a first mask 21, and the dielectric of the pattern of the plurality of windows 32 is transferred by a second mask 22. On layer 12. Here, if the single mask is also divided into the first region m and the second region 112, wherein the first region (1) refers to the ineffective region corresponding to the base W, and the second region ι2 refers to each The area between the active area of the chip and the active (four) is the area where the money process is to be performed. 1269422 can form windows 31, 32 at the same time, which is a simple change of this example. The window 31 and the window 32 are formed on the dielectric layer 12 by a developing process to expose the surface of the electrodeposited layer u, as shown in FIG. Lithography ((10) secret ah (four) process other (four) steps such as coating ~ soft bake: exposure, material, and further step-by-step instructions, when it is easy to understand for those who are familiar with this technique, this example is not Further, in conjunction with Fig. 1 'on the surface of the electroplated core layer 11 exposed here, it can be as shown in Fig. 11 'When we have formed a contact point for contacting a cathodic electro-mine needle 10 (first After the region (1)), the substrate i is placed in the electro-mineral solution. 'The cathode of the electroplating power supply device (not shown) is supplied to the cathodic electro-chemical needle 10' to enable the second region 112 to generate an electro-mineral chemical reaction. Taking the electroless ore nucleation layer η of the second region 35U2 as the initial layer of the electric ore, the electroplating reaction is gradually generated to increase the thickness of the metal layer. In particular, since the first region U1 is provided for the contact of the cathodic electroplating needle, it is necessary The sharp end of the sharp end is used for the piercing action, and the smooth needle can be changed to increase the contact area and reduce the contact resistance, so that there is no disadvantage such as the occurrence of photoresist debris and insufficient contact area. Aspect, plating solution It will enter the window 31 of the first region lu, causing the first region 111 to also generate a plating chemical reaction. However, since the first region 111 corresponds to the ineffective region of the wafer, it does not generate significant 20 5 10 15 for the subsequent process. 1269422 曰In order to avoid the above situation, the button needle ι〇 can also be contacted with the first area, and the first area (1) is sealed by a seal or other insulation to prevent the plating solution from flowing therein to generate electroplating chemistry. The second car of the method for producing a semiconductor plated contact point of the present invention is preferably exemplified by a predetermined substrate on a hard substrate having a first dielectric layer 42, for example, applied to a flip-chip structure. In the case of the bumps in the package, the first dielectric layer 7 is an organic molecular polymer, such as poly(imide), fluorenone (Slhc〇nes), epoxy resin (eP〇xy), bisbenzene. The hardness of the film after curing is lower than that of glass materials such as nitrite and oxidized stone, so it is easy to pierce the conventional sharp electrode needle. Electrical layer 42 refers in particular to a photosensitive type or Photosensitive polyamidoline, in addition to being used as a mechanical buffer, protects the circuit layer underneath it from scratches or crushes, and acts as a dielectric layer to improve flip chip During the assembly, the crosstalk effect between the die and the line on the substrate is generated to generate noise, etc. First, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a first photomask 2〇1 and a second photomask are respectively used. 202, the first dielectric layer 42 is sequentially exposed, and then subjected to development, curing, etc., so that the first dielectric layer 42 is formed with a pattern corresponding to the masks 201, 202, thereby forming a plurality of a window 5〇1 and a second window 502 are disposed on the first dielectric layer 42 to expose a first region 411 and a second region 412 on the surface of the substrate 41, wherein the first region 411 is a substrate In the upper inactive area, the second area 412 is a space between the active area and the active area on the substrate 41, that is, a scribe line between the wafer and the wafer (not shown in FIG. 20 1269422) and a pad (not shown). For subsequent processes such as bump fabrication or pad reconfigurationHowever, the above steps of the two masks 201 and 202 are not limited to the steps of the present invention, and the windows 5〇1 and 502 can be formed at a time by a single mask to expose the first and second regions 411 and 412 of the substrate. The front view of the formed wafer is as shown in FIG. 16, wherein the number of the first windows 501 depends on the design of the electric ore fixture. As shown in FIG. 17, a uniform electric shovel core layer 43 is formed on the substrate 41 by money forging to cover the dielectric layer 42 and the first 10 and second regions 411 and 412. To prevent oxidation and as an initial layer of the subsequent electroplating process, the electroplated core layer 43 is generally made of gold or copper. Of course, those skilled in the art should know that if the bumps (not shown) and the pads (not shown) are interdiffused or form a brittle metalkate in the subsequent process, the plating layer 43 is formed. Prior to formation, a UBM layer, possibly titanium, 15 chrome or titanium-tungsten mixed metal (TiW), should be sputtered as an adhesion and diffusion barrier. As shown in FIG. 18, a second dielectric layer 44 is applied to the electroplated core layer 43, which is also the same as the first dielectric layer 42, and is made of a photosensitive photoresist as shown in FIG. 19 and 20, and then through a third and a 20 fourth masks 203, 204 respectively exposure, development and other processes, in order to form third and fourth windows 503, 504, the position of the third window 503 should be The positions of the first window 501 overlap, that is, the plated core layer 43 above the first region 411 is exposed, as shown in FIG. In the figure, many small studs are located at 5〇4, which is where the subsequent bumps are formed, that is, at the periphery of each active region of the die, and is the place where 10 1269422 is used for electroplating chemical reaction in this example, as shown in Fig. 22. . Referring to FIG. 23, in the same manner as the first embodiment, the present embodiment adopts a plating needle 10 having a smooth front end to contact the plating core layer 43 above the first region 411, and after the substrate 41 is placed in the plating solution, the plating device is used ( After the current is applied, the surface of the plating core layer 43 exposed by the fourth window 5〇4 is subjected to a plating chemical reaction, and after the plating is completed, the photoresist and the metallized layer are successively removed. Process. In this example, although the first dielectric layer 42 is present, the plating core layer 43 above the first region 411 can be directly contacted with the substrate 41 by appropriately exposing the blank or the like, that is, the cathode plating needle 1〇 The area to be contacted is a hard surface, so that there is no problem of piercing the first dielectric layer 42, and the problem of easy electrical connection failure in the past is eliminated. It can be seen from the above two embodiments that the present invention is not limited to the fabrication of the bumps described in the prior art, and is also widely applicable to the pre-step of forming a patterned metal layer by the method of electricity, that is, Using a lithography process such as photoresist coating, exposure, development, etc., a contact point for contacting the cathode plating needle 1G is manufactured. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a cathode plating needle 1G to pierce the photoresist layer, thereby eliminating the occurrence of photo-resistance. More preferably, since the cathode plating needle 1 member 10 having a smooth tip end is used, the contact area can be effectively increased and the plating quality can be improved, and the object of the present invention can be achieved.
