Abstract:
In a chip package, when a Ni/Au layer is formed by electroless plating, there is no problem with density increasing of interconnections and the like, since leads for plating and tie bars are not formed. However, the adhesive strength of solder balls to ball pads is low, so that the adhesion tends to be unstable. In the present invention, no leads for plating are formed, while the adhesive strength of solder balls to ball pads is improved by electroplating the ball pads with a Ni/Au layer. In addition, an increase in the density of interconnections and an improvement of the electrical properties is also obtained. The Ni/Au layer is formed by electroplating on the base metal layer surface which is not covered with a DFR (Dry Film Resist) by applying an electric current to the base metal layer.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a chip package and a method for manufacturing the same. More particularly, to a chip package of the type that has an interconnection pattern and ball pads formed by etching a metal layer on one side or both sides of a resin substrate, which includes a package, such as a BGA package, or a flip chip package and is mainly used as a package for mounting a chip, such as a LSI chip, and a method for manufacturing the same. 
     2. Description of the Relevant Art 
     Recently, a BGA (Ball Grid Array), a flip chip package, and the like, which can be made to have more terminals, have attracted attention since a semiconductor apparatus is requested to have a higher density and a higher speed. The BGA is most suitable for packaging of ICs, such as a microprocessor and an ASIC, which are required to have more terminals, and has the following characteristics. 
     (a) Since balls are arranged in a plane, it is possible to have more terminals than packaging technologies using a lead frame, such as a QFP (Quad Flat Package), and it is also possible to have still more terminals than a PGA (Pin Grid Array). 
     (b) Since a BGA has a larger lead pitch than the QFP, the precision of a mounter or the like is not always required to be high, and so the packaging yield is improved. 
     (c) The cost is relatively low. 
     (d) The heat dissipation property is excellent, so that the impedance can be low. 
     Until recently, attention had been paid to a ceramic BGA among BGAs from the viewpoint of reliability, but the priority is moving to plastic array packages from the viewpoint of cost reduction. In the plastic array packages of this kind, there are PBGA (Plastic BGA), TBGA (Tape BGA), μ-BGA, CSP (Chip Size Package, Chip Scale Package) and the like in a broader sense. 
     An example of the PBGA is shown in FIG.  1 . On the IC chip  11  mounting surface of a resin substrate  12 , an interconnection pattern  13  is formed, while on the other surface thereof, a large number of ball pads  14  are formed. These ball pads  14  and the interconnection pattern  13  are connected through holes  16  for interconnection. The bottom surface of the IC chip  11  is connected to the ball pads  14  through through holes  17  for heat dissipation. On the ball pads  14 , solder balls  15  are deposited. The interconnection pattern  13  is connected to pads formed on the IC chip  11  (not shown) through bonding pads  13   a  and wire bonders  18 . The portion which includes the IC chip  11 , the wire bonders  18 , and the majority of the interconnection pattern  13  is covered with a mold resin  19 . 
     Ordinarily, the bonding pads  13   a  and the ball pads  14  are Ni/Au plated (not shown) in order to improve the bonding property and the deposition property of the solder balls  15 , and for that purpose the interconnection for electroplating is formed as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Each of the bonding pads  13   a  and ball pads  14  is connected to a tie bar  21  through a lead for plating  20 . After the plating is finished, each device is made by cutting on cutting lines  22 . The portion which need not be plated is previously covered with a solder mask  23  before the plating treatment. 
     An example of a BGA with a heat spreader is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. BT (Bismaleimide Triazine) is used for forming a tape-shaped thin resin substrate  32 . Since the BT resin has almost the same thermal transformation temperature (300° C.) as a polyimide resin and has better adhesiveness to a copper foil and workability than the polyimide resin, it is used widely for LSI packages. On the bottom surface of the resin substrate  32 , an interconnection pattern (not shown) and ball pads  34  are formed by etching a copper foil. On the ball pads  34 , solder balls  15  are deposited. Onto the top surface of the resin substrate  32 , a Cu ring  33  having a cavity  35  to accommodate an IC chip  11  is adhered. Onto the top surface of the Cu ring  33 , a Cu heat spreader  38  is further adhered through an adhesive sheet  38   a . In the center portion of the resin substrate  32 , a dam  36  is formed so as to surround the cavity  35 . After connecting wire bonders  18 , an injection mold resin  39  is injected into the cavity  35  to be solidified. The ball pads  34  and bonding pads (not shown) comprise a Cu layer  34   a  and a Ni/Au layer  34   b  as shown in FIG. 4. A solder mask  43  is formed around the Ni/Au layer  34   b.    
     In the BGA with a heat spreader of the type shown in FIG. 3, since it is difficult to arrange the leads for plating  20  shown in FIG. 2 from the viewpoint of space, the Ni/Au layer  34   b  is formed by electroless plating. The leads for plating  20  and tie bars  21  shown in FIG. 2 are not formed during the manufacturing process. 
     An example of a conventional flip chip package wherein a semiconductor component is mounted by flip chip bonding is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. On the chip  11  mounting surface of a resin substrate  12 , an interconnection pattern  13  and ball pads  14   a  are formed, while on the other surface thereof, a large number of ball pads  14   b  are formed. These ball pads  14   b  and the interconnection pattern  13  are connected through through holes  16  for interconnection. The ball pads  14   a  under the chip  11  are connected to the ball pads  14   b  through through holes  17  for heat dissipation. On the ball pads  14   b . solder balls  15  are deposited. The interconnection pattern  13  is connected to the chip  11  through the solder balls  15  deposited on the ball pads  14   a . The space between the chip  11  and the resin substrate  12  is charged with a mold resin  19 . On the portion of the interconnection pattern  13  except the ball pads  14   a  and  14   b , a solder mask  23  is formed. The ball pads  14   a  and  14   b  comprise a Cu layer  34   a  and a Ni/Au layer  34   b  as shown in FIG.  6  and the solder mask  23  is formed around the Ni/Au layer  34   b.    
     The Ni/Au layer  34   b  in the flip chip package shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is formed not by electroplating but by electroless plating. This is because flip chip packages tend to have high-density interconnections, and so it is difficult to form leads for electroplating between the high-density interconnections. 
     In the PBGA of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a large number of leads for plating  20  connected to each bonding pad  13   a  or ball pad  14  and tie bars  21  must be formed for electroplating, which prevents the interconnection pattern  13  and ball pads  14  from having a higher density. The leads for plating  20  inside the cutting lines  22  are left even after plating, leading to a possibility that they become a source of reflected noise, which adversely affects the electrical properties. 
     On the other hand, since the electroless plating is conducted in the BGA with a heat spreader of the type shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the leads for plating  20  and the tie bars  21  need not be formed, and so there is no problem with density increasing of the interconnections and the like. However, the adhesive strength of the solder balls  15  to the ball pads  34  is low, so that the adhesion tends to be unstable. 
     Since the electroless plating is conducted in the flip chip package of the type shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 in the same manner as in the BGA with a heat spreader of the type shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the leads for plating  20  and the tie bars  21  need not be formed and so there is no problem with increasing density of the interconnections and the like. However, the adhesive strength of the solder balls  15  to the ball pads  14   a  and  14   b  is low, so that the adhesion tends to be unstable. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention was developed in order to solve the above problems. It is an object of the present invention to provide a chip package wherein leads for plating need not be formed so as to enable the realization of higher density and an improvement of electrical properties while the plating is conducted by electroplating so that the adhesive strength of solder balls to pads is secured, and a method for manufacturing the same. 
     In order to achieve the above object, a chip package ( 1 ), according to the present invention, has an interconnection pattern and ball pads formed by etching a metal layer on one side or both sides of a resin substrate, and is characterized by the surface of the interconnection pattern and ball pads which is coated with Ni and Au films by electroplating, and no leads for electroplating are formed since an electric current is applied to the metal layer during electroplating. 
     In the chip package ( 1 ), since an electric current is applied to the metal layer during electroplating, the leads for electroplating usually required are not needed. As a result, it is possible to inhibit the leads from preventing the density increasing and from deteriorating the electrical properties. Since the plating for forming the Ni and Au films is conducted by electroplating, a sufficient value of adhesive strength of the solder balls can be obtained. 
     A chip package ( 2 ) according to the present invention is characterized by the metal layer which includes a copper foil and an electroless copper plating layer in the chip package ( 1 ). 
     In the chip package ( 2 ), an adequate thickness of the metal layer can be secured, the copper foil has an excellent in adhesiveness to the resin substrate and strength, and a large current can be passed through the copper foil during the formation of the Ni and Au films by electroplating. 
     A chip package ( 3 ) according to the present invention is characterized by the metal layer which includes an electroless copper plating layer in the chip package ( 1 ). 
     In the chip package ( 3 ), the metal layer comprising the electroless copper plating layer can be formed to be thin, i.e., 1 micron or so. As a result, the subsequent etching in patterning becomes easy and the quantity of overhang during etching is as small as possible, and so the interconnection pattern can easily have a higher density. 
     A chip package ( 4 ) according to the present invention is characterized by through holes formed in the resin substrate, having side walls which are coated with Ni and Au films by electroplating in one of the chip packages ( 1 )-( 3 ). 
     Conventionally, only Cu plating is conducted on the side walls of the through holes, not Ni/Au plating. But in the chip package ( 4 ), since the Ni/Au plating film is formed by electroplating, not only the surface of the interconnection pattern and ball pads but also the side walls of the through holes, the reliability of the chip package can be improved. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 ) according to the present invention includes the steps of: 
     forming a plating resist pattern on the surface of a metal layer formed on one side or both sides of a resin substrate; 
     applying an electric current to the metal layer to form Ni and Au films by electroplating on the metal layer surface which is not covered with the plating resist pattern; and 
     removing the plating resist pattern to etch the metal layer using the Ni/Au film as an etching mask. 
     In the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 ), since the Ni/Au film is formed by electroplating on the portion of the metal layer surface which is not covered with the plating resist pattern, then the metal layer used for the passage of electric current is etched using the Ni/Au film as an etching mask. Therefore the interconnection pattern and ball pads made of the metal layer/Ni/Au film can be formed without forming leads for electroplating only if the metal layer surface, except a portion to be an interconnection pattern and ball pads, is covered with the plating resist pattern. Furthermore, since the Ni/Au film is formed by electroplating, it has sufficient adhesive strength to the solder balls. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 2 ) according to the present invention is characterized by the metal layer comprising a copper foil, an electroless copper plating layer, and an electrolytic copper plating layer in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 ). 
     In the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 2 ), the electroless copper plating layer and electrolytic copper plating layer can be formed in the through holes formed in the resin substrate before forming the Ni/Au film by electroplating, and the Ni/Au film can be also formed in the through holes by electroplating. As a result, the reliability of the chip package can be improved. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 3 ) according to the present invention is characterized by the metal layer comprising an electroless copper plating layer, or a copper foil and an electroless copper plating layer in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 ). 
     In the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 3 ), by forming the electroless copper plating layer after forming the through holes in the resin substrate, the metal layer for the interconnection pattern and ball pads and the metal layer for the through holes can be formed at the same time, leading to the simplification of the chip package manufacturing process. The electroless copper plating layer can be formed to be thin, i.e., 1 micron or so. As a result, the subsequent etching of the electroless copper plating layer as a metal layer becomes easy. The quantity of overhang during the etching of the electroless copper plating layer can be made as small as possible, therefore a high-density interconnection pattern can be easily achieved. When the metal layer comprises a copper foil and an electroless copper plating layer, the adhesive strength of the metal layer to the resin substrate can be increased in addition to the above effects. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 4 ) according to the present invention is characterized by including the step of conducting electroless plating and electroplating treatment of copper on the side walls of through holes after forming the through holes in the resin substrate, in one of the methods for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 )-( 3 ). 
     In the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 4 ), since a plating film of Cu which is a good conductor is formed on the side walls of the through holes before the Ni/Au plating treatment by electroplating, the Ni/Au plating film can be also formed on the side walls of the through holes by electroplating. As a result, the reliability of the chip package can be improved. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 5 ) according to the present invention is characterized by using a dry film resist having a principal constituent of an acrylic resin for forming the plating resist pattern in one of the methods for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 )-( 3 ). 
     The dry film resist having a principal constituent of an acrylic resin has high resistance to the Cu/Ni/Au plating solution and is favorably stripped by a release solution so that no residue of stripping is caused. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 5 ). a precise interconnection pattern and ball pads can be formed, therefore, the occurrence rate of shorting can be easily reduced. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 6 ) according to the present invention is characterized by using a liquid resist having a principal constituent of an acrylic resin for forming the plating resist pattern in one of the methods for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 )-( 3 ). 
     The liquid resist having a principal constituent of an acrylic resin has excellent adhesiveness to the metal layer so that the pattern formation is precisely conducted, and has high resistance to the Cu/Ni/Au plating solution and is favorably stripped by a release solution so that no residue of stripping is caused. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 6 ). a fine interconnection pattern and ball pads can be precisely formed, therefore, the occurrence rate of shorting can be easily reduced. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 7 ) according to the present invention is characterized by conducting cleaning treatment on the metal layer surface before forming the plating resist pattern in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 5 ). 
     By conducting the cleaning treatment, the adhesiveness of the plating resist pattern to the metal layer surface is improved. As a result, the plating solution is prevented from penetrating under the plating resist pattern during electroplating so that the occurrence of shorting in the interconnection pattern can be inhibited. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 8 ) according to the present invention is characterized by conducting bake treatment on a plating resist and/or plating resist pattern before forming Ni and Au films by electroplating in one of the methods for manufacturing a chip package ( 1 )-( 3 ). 
     By the bake treatment, the optical setting reaction and/or thermosetting reaction of the plating resist is accelerated so that the adhesive strength thereof to the base metal layer is higher. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 9 ) according to the present invention is characterized by using an alkaline solution having a principal constituent of a copper amine complex or a tetraaminecopper (II) chloride as an etchant of the metal layer in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 2 ). 
     The alkaline solution having a principal constituent of a copper amine complex or a tetraaminecopper (II) chloride can etch only the Cu layer efficiently, without dissolving the Ni and Au films. Therefore, the metal layer can be etched efficiently using the electroplating film of Ni/Au as an etching mask. 
     A method for manufacturing a chip package ( 10 ) according to the present invention is characterized by using a soft etching solution having a principal constituent of a soda persulfate or mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid as an etchant of the metal layer, in the method for manufacturing a chip package ( 3 ). 
     The soft etching solution having a principal constituent of a soda persulfate or mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid can etch the Cu layer efficiently without dissolving the Au film. In addition, the soft etching solution is milder than the alkaline solution having a principal constituent of a copper amine complex or a tetraaminecopper (II) chloride. Therefore, when the metal layer is an electroless copper plating layer, or a copper foil and an electroless copper plating layer with the electroplating film of Ni/Au used as an etching mask, the electroless copper plating layer, or the copper foil and electroless copper plating layer can be precisely etched efficiently with almost no overhang thereon.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     The preferred embodiments of the chip package and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention are described below by reference to the figures. 
     FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic sectional view showing part of the manufacturing process of a BGA package with a heat spreader according to the embodiment ( 1 ). In FIG. 7, reference numeral  1  represents a copper-covered laminate. The copper-covered laminate  1  comprises a resin substrate  2  and copper foils  3  adhered onto both main surfaces thereof (FIG.  7 ( a )). Punching of through holes  4  and a cavity  5  is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1  (FIG.  7 ( b )). Panel plating treatment by electroless and electrolytic copper platings is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1  in which the through holes  4  and the cavity  5  are formed. The copper foils  3  adhered onto the top and bottom surfaces of the resin substrate  2  are electrically connected through the through holes  4  (Cu layers  6  by electroless and electrolytic copper platings) (FIG.  7 ( c )). The copper-covered laminate  1  is adhered to a Cu plate  7  through an adhesive sheet  7   a  (FIG.  7 ( d )). 
     Cleaning treatment is conducted on the top surface of the copper foil  3  (upper side in the figure). The cleaning treatment is conducted in order to increase the adhesiveness of a DFR (Drg Film Resist)  8  which is to be adhered thereto later. In more concrete terms, jet scrubbing (mechanical polishing by buffing), acid cleaning with sulfuric acid, and jet scrubbing or the like are conducted. Onto the copper foil  3  on which the cleaning treatment is conducted, the DFR (Dry Film Resist)  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin is adhered. Exposure treatment wherein the inverse pattern of the interconnection pattern is developed is conducted on the DFR  8 , and PEB (Post Exposure Bake) treatment is conducted before developing in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the optical setting reaction through the exposure. The DFR  8  is developed so that the DFR  8  of the inverse pattern is left, and post bake treatment is conducted in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the thermosetting reaction (FIG.  8 ( a )). 
     In order to form a Ni/Au layer  9  on the surface of the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings which is not covered with the DFR  8 , the laminated body of the copper-covered laminate  1  and the Cu plate  7  is dipped into a plating solution and applying an electric current thereto, electroplating is conducted (FIG.  8 ( b )). After rinsing the plating solution sufficiently, the laminated body is dipped into an about 3% NaOH aqueous solution of 50° C. in order to strip and remove the DFR  8 . After removing the DFR  8  (FIG.  8 ( c )). etching is conducted on the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings using the formed Ni/Au layer  9  as a mask. As an etching solution, a solution which etches only the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings without etching the Ni/Au layer  9  is needed. An alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride and the like can be used. By the etching treatment, an interconnection pattern  10  including a pad portion wherein the electroplating film of the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed on the Cu interconnections is formed (FIG.  8 ( d )). 
     A solder mask  43  is formed on a portion of the interconnection pattern  10  except the bonding pads and ball pads  34  (FIG. 2) (FIG.  9 ( a )). A heat spreader  38  is further laminated on the laminated body of the copper-covered laminate  1  and the Cu plate  7  through an adhesive sheet  7   b  (FIGS.  9 ( b ) and  9 ( c )). 
     According to the embodiment (1), the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings themselves function as conventional leads for plating  20  (FIG.  2 ), so that the Ni/Au layer  9  can be formed by electroplating on the interconnection pattern  10  without forming the leads for plating  20 . As a result, it becomes easy to make the interconnection pattern  10  have a higher density, and there is no reflection caused by the partially remaining leads for plating  20 , so that the electrical properties can be improved. Furthermore, since the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed by electroplating, a sufficiently large value of adhesive strength of wire bonding and solder balls  15  (FIG. 3) can be obtained. Since the Ni/Au layer  9  is also formed by electroplating on the side walls of the through holes  4 , the reliability of the electrical connection through the through holes  4  can be improved. 
     The DFR  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin has high resistance to the plating solution used in the formation of the Ni/Au layer  9 . It is favorably stripped by a release solution such as a NaOH aqueous solution so that a residue of stripping is not caused. Therefore, it is easy to form the interconnection pattern  10  precisely, and so shorting between interconnections is not easily caused. Since the adhesiveness of the DFR  8  to the panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings can be made higher by the cleaning and bake treatment, the penetration of the plating solution under the DFR  8  can be more certainly prevented. 
     Since the alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride is used as an etchant of the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings, only the copper foil  3  and panel plating layer by electroless and electrolytic copper platings can be etched efficiently without dissolving the Ni/Au layer  9 . 
     In the above embodiment (1), a two-layer construction wherein the copper foils  3  are adhered to both main surfaces of the resin substrate  2  is described as an example, but in another embodiment, a four-layer construction wherein two copper-covered laminates  1  are laminated is also available. Furthermore, a BGA construction having a usual PBGA construction without a heat spreader is also available as a matter of course. 
     FIGS. 10-12 are diagrammatic sectional views showing part of the manufacturing process of a flip chip package according to the embodiment (2), and in the figure, reference numeral  1  represents a copper-covered laminate. The copper-covered laminate  1  comprises a resin substrate  2  and copper foils  3  adhered onto both main surfaces thereof (FIG.  10 ( a )). Punching of through holes  4  is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1  (FIG.  10 ( b )). Panel plating treatment by electroless and electrolytic copper platings is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1  in which the through holes  4  are formed, and the copper foils  3  adhered onto the top and bottom surfaces of the resin substrate  2  are electrically connected through the through holes  4  (Cu layers  6  by electroless and electrolytic copper platings) (FIG.  10 ( c )). 
     Cleaning treatment is conducted on the surfaces of the Cu layers  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings. The cleaning treatment is conducted in order to increase the adhesiveness of a DFR  8  which is to be adhered thereto later, and in more concrete terms, jet scrubbing (mechanical polishing by buffing), acid cleaning with sulfuric acid, and jet scrubbing or the like are conducted. Onto the Cu layers  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings on which the cleaning treatment is conducted, the DFRs  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin are adhered. Exposure treatment wherein the inverse pattern of the interconnection pattern is developed is conducted on the DFRs  8 , and PEB (Post Exposure Bake) treatment is conducted before developing in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the optical setting reaction through the exposure. The DFRs  8  are developed so that the DFRs  8  of the inverse pattern are left, and post bake treatment is conducted in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the thermosetting reaction (FIG.  11 ( a )). 
     In order to form Ni/Au layers  9  on the surfaces of the Cu layers  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings which are not covered with the DFRs  8 , the copper-covered laminate  1  is dipped into a plating solution, an electric current is applied thereto, and electroplating is conducted (FIG.  11 ( b )). After rinsing the plating solution sufficiently, the laminate is dipped into an about 3% NaOH solution of 50° C. in order to strip and remove the DFRs  8 . After removing the DFRs  8  (FIG.  11 ( c )), etching is conducted on the copper foils  3  and Cu layers  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings using the formed Ni/Au layers  9  as a mask. As an etching solution, a solution which etches only the copper foil  3  and Cu layer  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings without etching the Ni/Au layer  9  is needed, and an alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride or the like can be exemplified. By the etching treatment, an interconnection pattern  10  including a pad portion wherein the electroplating film of the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed on the Cu interconnections is formed (FIG.  12 ( a )). 
     A solder mask  43  is formed on the portion of the interconnection pattern  10  except ball pads  10   a  for semiconductor component connection and ball pads  10   b  for mother board connection (FIG.  12 ( b )). 
     An example of a flip chip package manufactured by the method described in FIGS. 10-12 is shown in FIG.  13 . On the flip chip  11  mounting surface of the resin substrate  2 , the interconnection pattern  10  including the ball pads  10   a  to which terminals of the flip chip  11  are connected is formed, while on the other surface, the ball pads  10   b  to which solder balls  15  for mother board connection are connected are formed. The interconnection pattern  10  (ball pads  10   a ) and the ball pads  10   b  are connected through the through holes  4  for interconnection, and on the ball pads  10   b , the solder balls  15  are deposited. The interconnection pattern  10  is connected to the terminals of the flip chip  11  through solder balls  18   a  deposited on the ball pads  10   a . A resin layer  19   a  is formed between the flip chip  11  and the resin substrate  2 . 
     According to the embodiment (2), the copper foil  3  and Cu layer  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings themselves function as conventional leads for electroplating  20  (FIG.  2 ), so that the Ni/Au layer  9  can be formed by electroplating on the interconnection pattern  10  including the ball pads  10   a  and  10   b  without forming the leads for plating  20 . Therefore, even when the electroplating technique is adopted, it is possible to make the interconnection pattern  10  have a higher density in the same manner as when the electroless plating technique is adopted. No reflection is caused by the partially remaining leads for plating  20 , so that the electrical properties are not deteriorated. Furthermore, since the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed by electroplating, a sufficiently large value of adhesive strength of the solder balls  15  and  18   a  to the ball pads  10   a  and  10   b  can be obtained. 
     Since the Ni/Au layer  9  is also formed by electroplating on the side walls of the through holes  4 , the reliability of the electrical connection through the through holes  4  is improved. 
     The DFR  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin has high resistance to the Ni/Au plating solution, and is favorably stripped by a release solution such as a NaOH solution so that a residue of stripping is not caused. Therefore, it is easy to form the interconnection pattern  10  precisely, and so shorting between interconnections is not easily caused. Since the adhesiveness of the DFR  8  to the copper foil  3  can be made higher by the cleaning and bake treatment, the penetration of the plating solution under the DFR  8  can be certainly prevented. 
     Since the alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride is used as an etchant of the copper foil  3 , only the copper foil  3  and Cu layer  6  of panel plating by electroless and electrolytic copper platings can be etched efficiently without dissolving the Ni/Au layer  9 . 
     FIGS. 14-17 are diagrammatic sectional views showing part of the manufacturing process of a flip chip package according to the embodiment (3), and in the figures, reference numeral  1  represents a copper-covered laminate. The copper-covered laminate  1  comprises a resin substrate  2  and copper foils  3  adhered onto both main surfaces thereof (only one surface shown) (FIGS.  14 ( a ) and  16 ( a )). Punching of through holes  4  is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1  (FIG.  16 ( a )). In order to strip and remove the copper foils  3 , etching treatment using a FeCl 3  solution is conducted. Then to make the deposition of electroless copper better in the subsequent electroless copper plating treatment, roughing treatment using a permanganic acid solution for surface roughing is conducted on the surfaces of the resin substrate  2  from which the copper foils  3  are removed (FIGS.  14 ( b ) and  16 ( b )). 
     Panel plating treatment by electroless copper plating is conducted over all of both main surfaces of the resin substrate  2  including the side walls of the through holes  4  so that electroless copper plating layers  6   a  having a thickness of one tenth or so of the thickness of the copper foil  3  are formed. The electroless copper plating layers  6   a  formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the resin substrate  2  are electrically connected through the through holes  4  (FIGS.  14 ( c ) and  16 ( c )). 
     Cleaning treatment is conducted on the surfaces of the electroless copper plating layers  6   a . The cleaning treatment is conducted in order to increase the adhesiveness of a DFR  8  which is to be adhered thereto later, and in more concrete terms, jet scrubbing (mechanical polishing by buffing), acid cleaning with sulfuric acid, and jet scrubbing or the like are conducted. Onto the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  on which the cleaning treatment is conducted, the DFRs (Dry Film Resists)  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin are adhered. Exposure treatment wherein the inverse pattern of the interconnection pattern is developed is conducted on the DFRs  8 , and PEB (Post Exposure Bake) treatment is conducted before developing in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the optical setting reaction through the exposure. The DFRs  8  are developed so that the DFRs  8  of the inverse pattern are left, and post bake treatment is conducted in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the thermosetting reaction (FIGS.  14 ( d ) and  16 ( d )). 
     In order to form electrolytic copper plating layers  6   b  on the surfaces of the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  which are not covered with the DFRs  8 , the resin substrate  2  is dipped into a plating solution, an electric current is applied thereto, and electroplating is conducted (FIGS.  15 ( a ) and  17 ( a )). Then in order to form Ni/Au layers  9  by electroplating on the surfaces of the electrolytic copper plating layers  6   b  which are not covered with the DFRs  8 , the resin substrate  2  is dipped into a plating solution, an electric current is applied thereto, and electroplating is conducted (FIGS.  15 ( b ) and  17 ( b )). After rinsing the plating solution sufficiently, the substrate is dipped into an about 3% NaOH aqueous solution of 50° C. in order to strip and remove the DFRs  8 . After removing the DFRs  8  (FIGS.  15 ( c ) and  17 ( c )), etching is conducted on the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  using the formed Ni/Au layers  9  as a mask. As an etching solution, a solution which etches only the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  without etching the Ni/Au layer  9  is preferable. But since the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  can be made thinner by an order of magnitude or so than the copper foil  3 , it can be etched even without using the alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride used in the above embodiments ( 1 ) and ( 2 ). For example, a soft etching solution of such as soda persulfate or mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid can be used as an etching solution. By the etching treatment, an interconnection pattern  30  including a pad portion wherein the electroplating film of the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed on the Cu interconnections made of the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  and the electrolytic copper plating layer  6   b  is formed (FIGS.  15 ( d ) and  17 ( d )). 
     In the method for manufacturing a flip chip package according to the embodiment (3), the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  itself functions as conventional leads for plating  20 , so that the Ni/Au layer  9  can be formed by electroplating on the interconnection pattern  30  without forming the leads for plating  20 . Furthermore, since the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  can be made thinner by an order of magnitude or so than the copper foil  3 , the etching treatment of the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  for pattern formation becomes extremely easy, and the quantity of overhang can be made almost zero (one tenth or so of the case wherein the copper foil  3  is used). As a result, it becomes further easier to make the interconnection pattern  30  have a higher density, compared with the embodiment (1) or (2). No reflection is caused by the partially remaining leads for plating  20 , so that the electrical properties can be improved. Furthermore, since the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed by electroplating, a sufficiently large value of adhesive strength of wire bonding and solder balls  15  (FIG. 13) can be secured. 
     Since the Ni/Au layer  9  is also formed by electroplating on the side walls of the through holes  4 , the reliability can be improved. 
     The DFR  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin has high resistance to the plating solutions used in the formation of the electrolytic copper plating layer  6   b  and Ni/Au layer  9 , and is favorably stripped by a release solution such as a NaOH aqueous solution so that no residue of stripping is caused. Therefore, it is easy to form the interconnection pattern  30  precisely, and so shorting between interconnections is not easily caused. Since the adhesiveness of the DFR  8  to the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  can be made higher by the cleaning and bake treatment, the penetration of the plating solution under the DFR  8  can be certainly prevented. 
     Since the soft etching solution having a principal constituent of soda persulfate or mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid is used as an etchant of the electroless copper plating layer  6   a , the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  can be etched efficiently without dissolving the Au layer and with only a small quantity of overhang of the electroless copper plating layer  6   a . Moreover, the soft etching solution is easy to handle and the disposal of liquid waste is also easy. 
     FIGS. 18-21 are diagrammatic sectional views showing part of the manufacturing process of a flip chip package according to the embodiment (4). and in the figure, reference numeral  2  represents a resin substrate. Copper foils  3   a  which are considerably thinner (thickness of  1 - 3  μm or so) than the above copper foils  3  (thickness of ten-odd μm or so) are bonded by thermocompression onto both main surfaces of the resin substrate  2  in a prepreg state (only one surface shown) (FIGS.  18 ( a ) and  20 ( a )). Punching of through holes  4  is conducted on the copper-covered laminate  1   a  (FIG.  20 ( b )). Then in order to make the deposition of electroless copper better in the subsequent electroless copper plating treatment, roughing treatment using a permanganic acid solution for surface roughing is conducted on the surfaces of the copper-covered laminate  1   a  (FIGS.  18 ( b ) and  20 ( b )). 
     Panel plating treatment by electroless copper plating is conducted over all of both main surfaces of the copper-covered laminate la including the side walls of the through holes  4  so that electroless copper plating layers  6   a  having a thickness of one third or so of the thickness of the copper foil  3   a  are formed. The electroless copper plating layers  6   a  formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the copper-covered laminate la are electrically connected through the through holes  4  (FIGS.  18 ( c ) and  20 ( c )). 
     Cleaning treatment is conducted on the surfaces of the electroless copper plating layers  6   a . The cleaning treatment is conducted in order to increase the adhesiveness of a DFR  8 , which is to be adhered thereto later, and in more concrete terms, jet scrubbing (mechanical polishing by buffing), acid cleaning with sulfuric acid, and jet scrubbing or the like are used. Onto the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  on which the cleaning treatment is conducted, the DFRs (Dry Film Resists)  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin are adhered. Exposure treatment wherein the inverse pattern of the interconnection pattern is developed is conducted on the DFRs  8 , and PEB (Post Exposure Bake) treatment is conducted before developing in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the optical setting reaction through the exposure. The DFRs  8  are developed so that the DFRs  8  of the inverse pattern are left, and post bake treatment is conducted in order to improve the adhesive strength by accelerating the thermosetting reaction (FIGS.  18 ( d ) and  20 ( d )). 
     In order to form electrolytic copper plating layers  6   b  on the surfaces of the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  which are not covered with the DFRs  8 . the resin substrate  2  is dipped into a plating solution, an electric current is applied thereto, and electroplating is conducted (FIGS.  19 ( a ) and  21 ( a )). Then in order to form Ni/Au layers  9  by electroplating on the surfaces of the electrolytic copper plating layers  6   b  which are not covered with the DFRs  8 , the resin substrate  2  is dipped into a plating solution, an electric current applied thereto, electroplating is conducted (FIGS.  19 ( b ) and  21 ( b )). After rinsing the plating solution sufficiently, the substrate is dipped into an about 3% NaOH aqueous solution of 50° C. in order to strip and remove the DFRs  8 . After removing the DFRs  8  (FIGS.  19 ( c ) and  21 ( c )). etching is conducted on the electroless copper plating layers  6   a  and copper foils  3   a  using the formed Ni/Au layers  9  as a mask. As an etching solution, a solution which etches the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  and copper foil  3   a  without etching the Au layer is preferable. But since the electroless copper plating layer  6   a  and copper foil  3   a  can be made thinner by an order of magnitude or so than the copper foil  3 , it can be etched even without using the alkaline solution having a principal constituent of copper amine complex or tetraaminecopper (II) chloride used in the above embodiments (1) and (2). For example, a soft etching solution of such as soda persulfate or mixture of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid can be used as an etching solution. By the etching treatment, an interconnection pattern  30   a  including a pad portion wherein the electroplating film of the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed on the Cu interconnections made of the copper foil  3   a , electroless copper plating layer  6   a , and electrolytic copper plating layer  6   b  is formed (FIGS.  19 ( d ) and  21 ( d )). 
     In the method for manufacturing a flip chip package according to the embodiment (4), the copper foil  3   a  and electroless copper plating layer  6   a  themselves function as conventional leads for plating  20 , so that the Ni/Au layer  9  can be formed by electroplating on the interconnection pattern  30   a  without forming the leads for plating  20 . Furthermore, since the copper foil  3   a  and electroless copper plating layer  6   a  are considerably thinner than the copper foil  3 , the etching treatment of the copper foil  3   a  and electroless copper plating layer  6   a  for pattern formation becomes extremely easy, and the quantity of overhang can be made smaller (one fifth or so of the case wherein the copper foil  3  is used). As a result, it becomes easier to make the interconnection pattern  30   a  have a higher density, compared with the embodiment (1) or (2). No reflection is caused by the partially remaining leads for plating  20 , so that the electrical properties can be improved. Furthermore, since the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed by electroplating, a sufficiently large value of adhesive strength of wire bonding and solder balls  15  (FIG. 13) can be secured. Since the Ni/Au layer  9  is also formed by electroplating on the side walls of the through holes  4 , the reliability can be improved. 
     The DFR  8  having a principal constituent of acrylic resin has high resistance to the plating solutions used in the formation of the electrolytic copper plating layer  6   b  and Ni/Au layer  9 , and is favorably stripped by a release solution such as a NaOH aqueous solution so that no residue of stripping is caused. Therefore, it is easy to form the interconnection pattern  30   a  precisely, and so shorting between interconnections is not easily caused.

Moreover, the soft etching solution is easy to handle and the disposal of liquid waste is also easy. 
     In the above embodiments (3) and (4). examples of the method for manufacturing a flip chip package is described, but the manufacturing method according to the present invention is not limited to the method for manufacturing a flip chip package. Since the Ni/Au layer  9  is formed by electroplating in the manufacturing method according to the present invention, the thickness of the Ni/Au layer  9  can be easily controlled unlike the case of electroless plating. By making the Ni/Au layer  9  thicker, the manufacturing method can be also applied to a method for manufacturing a BGA package of a wire bonding type in the same manner. In the above embodiment (3). the resin substrate  2  which is made by stripping and removing the copper foils  3  from the copper-covered laminate  1  is used, but in another embodiment, the copper-covered laminate  1  is not necessarily used, and the punching of the through holes  4  and the like can be conducted on a resin substrate  2  as a starting material. In the above embodiments (1)-(4), the DFR  8  is used as a plating mask, but the plating mask is not limited to the DFR  8 . In another embodiment, a resist pattern can be formed using a liquid resist.
