Abstract
A system for defining a solder barrier using a silylated positive photoresist. This layer replaces the top chrome layer previously employed and defines the C4 and I/O select patterns. The personality pattern in the Cr-Cu layers is defined by the use of a positive photoresist which is etched to provide the copper etch mask. The etched copper is then used to etch the chrome. This avoids the incompatibility of the positive photoresist with the alkaline chromium etchant.
