Abstract
The present invention provides a substrate structure comprising: a plurality of electrodes provided on a substrate, each of the electrodes comprising an electrode pad on the substrate and a bump on the electrode pad; and a solder resist layer provided over the substrate, so that the solder resist layer extends in gaps between the electrodes and covers the electrode pads and the bumps except for at least top portions of the bumps, whereby top portions of the bumps are positioned higher than a surface of the solder resist layer to have the solder resist layer isolate adjacent two of the electrodes.
