Abstract
A bumping process including the following steps is provided. A main body with a plurality of contacts thereon is provided. A protective layer with a plurality of first openings is formed on the main body. The first openings in the protective layer expose the respective contacts. An under-bump-metallurgy layer is formed on the protective layer and the contacts. A patterned photoresist layer having a plurality of second openings located above their corresponding first openings is formed over the under-bump-metallurgy layer. A plurality of bumps is formed inside the second openings above their corresponding contacts such that the level of the surface of the bumps away from the protective layer is lower than that of the photoresist layer. The bumps are etched to planarize the surfaces of the bumps. The patterned photoresist layer and part of the under-bump-metallurgy layer not covered by the bumps are removed.
