Abstract
A method of producing an external connector is provided. A substrate is provided and a plurality of pads are formed on the substrate. A copper layer is formed on the substrate to cover the pads. A patterned photoresist is formed on the copper layer. The patterned photoresist has a plurality of openings to expose the copper layer which corresponds to the pads. Then, a conductive plug is formed on the exposed copper layer. The patterned photoresist is removed, and the copper layer which is not covered by the conductive plug is subsequently removed. A solder resist is formed over the substrate to cover the pads and the conductive plug. A portion of the solder resist is removed until the conductive plug is exposed, wherein the solder resist is as high as the conductive plug.
