Abstract
A method for fabricating a bump forming plate member by which bumps can be formed on an electronic component. A mask is formed on a surface of a crystalline plate, and the crystalline plate is subjected to anisotropic etching to form a plurality of grooves. The crystalline plate is also subjected to isotropic etching to deepen the grooves. The method can further includes additional anisotropic and isotropic etchings. Also, a method for fabricating a metallic bump forming plate member is disclosed. This method uses the above described crystalline plate having the grooves, and includes fabrication of a replica using the crystalline plate as an original, and fabrication of a metallic bump forming plate member using the replica as an original.
