Method of metal electro-plating for IC package substrate

Abstract

A method of metal-electro-plating for IC package substrate comprising the steps of: forming vias on the package substrate coated with copper film on both sides thereof; electro-plating the vias to form electrical conductive holes between the top layer and the bottom layer of the package substrate; coating a resisting agent where the patterns should be formed on the top layer and on the entire bottom layer of the package substrate; etching the pattern to form circuit without plating lines on the top layer of the substrate, and removing the resisting agent; coating with a resisting agent on the top side and the bottom side of the package substrate but the wiring position to be electro-plated as surface finish for wire-bonding electro-plating on the top side of the package substrate not being applied with the resisting agent; electro-plating the substrate with nickel and gold, and removing the resisting agent; fabricating the circuit on the bottom side of the package substrate and coating with a resisting agent to cover the entire top side and where the circuit is to be formed on the bottom side; etching the substrate to obtain the circuit on the bottom side of the package substrate; and coating solder resist on the region other than the circuit section and applying pre-flux onto the circuit section to form into a protective film.
