Abstract

The corrosion of a pad portion on TEG is prevented, and the wettability of a solder and the shear strength after solder formation of a pad portion of an actual device are improved. A third layer wiring M 3 on a chip area CA of a semiconductor wafer and a third layer wiring M 3 on a scribe area SA are respectively comprised of a TiN film M 3 a , an Al alloy film M 3 b , and a TiN film M 3 c . A second pad portion PAD 2 as the top of a rewiring 49 on the chip area CA is cleaned. Alternatively, an Au film 53 a is formed thereon by an electroles splating method. Further, after the formation of the Au film 53 a , a retention test is carried out. Thereafter, further, an Au film 53 b is formed and a solder bump electrode 55 is formed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the corrosion of a first pad portion PAD 1 of the third layer wiring M 3 on the scribe area SA which is TEG due to a plating solution or the like by the TiN film M 3 c . Further, it is possible to improve the wettability of a solder and the shear strength after solder formation of the second pad portion PAD 2 by the Au films 53 a and 53 b.

Claims (9)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, comprising the steps of:

(a) forming a first wiring having a first conductive film and a second conductive film thereon in a chip area of a semiconductor wafer, and forming a pattern for test having the first conductive film and the second conductive film thereon in a scribe area of the semiconductor wafer;

(b) forming a second wiring on the first wiring via an insulating film; and

(c) cleaning a pad area which is a part of the second wiring with the second conductive film as the surface of the pattern for test being exposed.

2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductive film contains Al (aluminum) or Cu (copper) as a main component.

3. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductive film is comprised of a single layer film of a TiN (titanium nitride) film, a Ta (tantalum) film, a TaN (tantalum nitride) film, a W (tungsten) film or a WN (tungsten nitride) film, or a multilayer film of these films.

4. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning is carried out by using an acidic cleaning solution.

5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to claim 1 , further comprising: subsequent to the step (c), a step (d) of carrying out an evaluation of the pattern for test or a portion electrically connected to the pattem for test by using the pattern for test.

6. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wiring is electrically connected to the pattern for test.
