According to the scope of the invention, there is provided a method of forming a solder bump. First, a substrate is provided, and an under bump metallurgy layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. Forming a photoresist layer on the surface of the underlying metal layer, and patterning the photoresist layer to form at least one opening in the photoresist layer to expose a portion of the under bump metal layer, and the opening It contains at least one columnar structure.

As shown in FIG. 7, a substrate 3, such as a wafer, is first provided, and a plurality of conductor structures, such as pad pads, are formed on the surface of the substrate 3, and the material f is usually copper or aluminum for electrical connection. An internal line (not shown) formed in the substrate 3A and an external line (not shown) on the package substrate. Then, a patterned protective layer 34 is formed over the surface of the substrate 30 and exposes a portion of the surface of each of the pads 32 to protect the internal wiring (not shown) in the substrate 30. Then, a process such as sputtering, deposition, and surname etching is performed to form an under bump metallurgy layer (UBM layer) and cover the partially exposed solder bumps 32. And patterning the surface of the protective layer 34. The under bump metal layer 36 is generally composed of an adhesion layer, a barrier layer, and a wetting layer. The adhesive layer is used to provide good adhesion of the bonding pad 32 and the patterned protective layer 34, and the material thereof may be aluminum, titanium, chromium, titanium tungsten or the like. The barrier layer is used to prevent the metal between the ball and the pad from interfering with each other. The material can be nickel hunger, nickel, etc. The wetting layer provides good adhesion between the under bump metal layer 36 and the solder balls, and the material thereof may be copper, molybdenum, platinum or the like. As shown in Fig. 8, a patterned mask is subsequently formed. For example, a photoresist layer 38 is formed on the surface of the under bump metal layer 36, and the photoresist layer 38 may be composed of 1286845 epoxy, polyimide, or dry film. The group is then subjected to an exposure development process to form at least one opening 40· in the photoresist layer 38 and simultaneously form at least one columnar structure 42 in the opening 4〇. The opening 40 is used to expose a portion of the under bump metal layer 36 and is a bonding region between the subsequently filled solder and the under bump metal layer 36, so the thickness is related to the height of the recording bump to be formed later. , and columnar, ,,. The structure 42 is used as a buffer material for subsequently supporting the solder bumps. In this preferred embodiment, the opening 40 is located directly above the bonding pad 32. However, the opening 4 is not limited to the embodiment, and the opening 4 is also formed on the under-metal layer 36 of the bump adjacent to the bonding pad. In order to meet the needs of the contact configuration in the rdl process, the position of the contact needs to be changed. As shown in FIG. 9, an electroplating process is then performed to fill a first metal layer 44 made of copper in the opening 40, and then another electroplating process or a printing process is performed as shown in FIG. A second metal layer 46 composed of solder is filled in the first metal layer 44, and the surface of the second metal layer 46 is approximately flush with the surface of the photoresist layer 38. However, the present invention is not limited to the steps of filling the first metal layer 44 and the second metal layer 46 as described above, and the present invention can be directly subjected to an electroplating process or a printing process after the columnar structure 42 is formed. A metal layer (not shown) consisting of only solder is placed in the opening 40 and the metal layer is flush with the surface of the photoresist layer 38. As shown in Fig. 11, a reflow process is then performed to fill the second metal layer 46 composed of solder in the opening 40 in the opening 40 to become spherical and to cover the columnar structure. 42. A solder bump 48 is formed on the corresponding pad 32 and the under bump metal layer 36. As shown in Fig. 12, a photoresist stripping step is then performed to remove the photoresist layer 38. In addition, the method is not limited to the foregoing method of performing a reflow process before stripping the photoresist, and the invention may further remove the photoresist layer 38 after filling the second metal layer 46, and then perform another process. The soldering process is used to form the second metal layer 46 to form the solder bumps 48. Finally, as shown in FIG. 13, the second metal layer 46 and the first metal layer 44 are used as masks to perform an etching process for removing portions. The under bump metal layer 36 is patterned to the surface of the patterned protective layer 34. In addition, the present invention can also be used after the first metal layer 44 in the opening 40 is formed, as shown in FIG. 9, and then the first metal layer 44 is used as a mask for the process of removing the portion. The under bump metal layer 36 is patterned to the surface of the protective layer 34, and then a printing process is performed to form a second metal layer 46 composed of solder on the first metal layer 44. Finally, a reflow process is performed to make the second metal layer 46 become spherical due to the surface tension and cover the columnar structure 42. It is noted that the second metal layer 46 and the first metal layer 44 are The columnar structure 42 formed in the prior exposure and development process is included, so that the invention can greatly reduce the processing time of 1286845 and increase the wafer throughput (WPH), and can be utilized. Finally, the columnar structure 42 formed in the solder bumps 48 strengthens the support structure of the solder bumps 48 to effectively increase the height of the solder bumps 48, thereby improving the stability of the present invention in the fine line process. In addition, the present invention further discloses a solder bump structure 50. As shown in FIG. 13, the solder bump structure 50 includes a substrate 30, such as a crystal _ circle, a pad 32 disposed on the surface of the substrate 30, a pad 32 and a pad.
