  • Patent number: 6282781
    Abstract: A resin package fabrication processes comprises three steps. At the first step, a thermosetting resin-containing resin substrate is machined. At the second step carried out after the first step, the resin substrate is heated to an original glass transition temperature that the resin substrate has or a temperature that is higher than the glass transition temperature so that the glass transition temperature that the resin substrate has is elevated to a new glass transition temperature. At the third step, a resin layer is placed on at least a portion of the resin substrate to which the new glass transition temperature is imparted, and the resin substrate with the resin layer placed on that portion is then heated to the original glass transition temperature or a temperature between the original glass transition temperature and the new glass transition temperature, thereby fixing the resin layer to the resin substrate.

  • Patent number: 6281436
    Abstract: An electronic element is mounted on a resin wiring substrate and a cover member is bonded to the wiring substrate so as to cover the electronic element and constitute an encapsulation region. The encapsulation region houses the electronic element and has a cavity inside. A side electrode is formed of an electronically conductive through groove provided in a cover-member-bonding surface on the wiring substrate. A plating layer inside the electrically conductive through groove includes at least two metal layers including an Au plating layer and a Cu plating layer. The plating layer has conductors connected to circumferential peripheries of the electrically conductive through groove on upper and lower surfaces of the wiring substrate.
