A wafer-level chip-scale package includes a semiconductor die having planar top
and bottom surfaces and a plurality of metal pads formed at the top surface in
an area array. A first protective layer is formed on the top surface of the semiconductor
die, the first protective layer having a plurality of first apertures for allowing
the metal pads to be opened upward. A second protective layer is formed on a surface
of the first protective layer, the second protective layer having a plurality of
second apertures which are larger than and overly corresponding first apertures
of the first protective layer so that regions of the metal pads and the first protective
layer are exposed to the outside of the semiconductor die. Solder balls are fused
to each metal pad, which are opened to the outside through the first apertures
of the first protective layer and the second apertures of the second protective layer.
