A method of manufacturing non-photosensitive polyimide passivation layer is disclosed. The method includes: spin-coating a non-photosensitive polyimide layer over a wafer and baking it; depositing a silicon dioxide thin film thereon; spin-coating a photoresist layer over the silicon dioxide thin film and baking it; exposing and developing the photoresist layer to form a photoresist pattern; etching the silicon dioxide thin film by using the photoresist pattern as a mask; removing the patterned photoresist layer; dry etching the non-photosensitive polyimide layer by using the patterned silicon dioxide thin film as a mask; removing the patterned silicon dioxide thin film; and curing to form a imidized polyimide passivation layer. The method addresses issues of the traditional non-photosensitive polyimide process, including aluminum corrosion by developer, tapered profile of non-photosensitive polyimide layer and generation of photoresist residues.
