Patent ID: 7174630

Claim:
A method for fabricating connection terminals of a circuit board, the method comprising steps of: providing a circuit board having a plurality of connection pads thereon, wherein the circuit board is formed with an insulating layer having a plurality of first openings to expose the conductive pads; forming a conductive layer over the insulating layer to cover a profile of the first openings; forming a first resist layer on the conductive layer, wherein the first resist layer has a plurality of second openings for exposing the conductive layer on the connection pads; performing a first electroplating process for forming a first metal connection layer on the exposed conductive layer; forming a second resist layer over the first resist layer and the second openings, wherein the second resist layer is formed with a plurality of third openings to expose a part of the first metal connection layer on the connection pads; and performing a second electroplating process for forming a second metal connection layer on the exposed part of the first metal connection layer.
