Abstract
A method for manufacturing a known good die array('KGD' array ), which includes the steps of: (a) forming a plurality of circuit patterns, and bonding pads to match solder bumps on a wafer; (b) providing solder bumps on the bonding pads; (c) forming metal layers for wire-bonding on the solder bumps; (d) dividing the wafer having metal layers into respective individual circuit pattern unit dies; (e) holding at least one die in a die holder for testing; (f) wire-bonding circuit contacts of the die holder with the metal layers using wires; (g) testing the die which is electrically interconnected with the die holder; and (h) removing simultaneously the metal layer on the solder bumps for wire bonding and the wires from the die to give a known good die array having solder bumps.
