A bumping process comprises forming a passivation layer having a
planarized surface covering a pad on a substrate, forming a hole
penetrating through the passivation layer to expose a contact surface of
the pad, and forming a bump on the contact surface and planarized
surface. The planarized surface will provide a larger effective area for
pressing, thereby minimizing the pad, enhancing the mechanical strength
at the peripheral of the pad, providing more selection flexibility for
anisotropic conductive film, reducing the possibilities of short circuit
and current leakage within the bump gap, and increasing the yield of the
pressing process and the conductive quality of the bump.
