  • Patent number: 11049831
    Abstract: A circuit substrate that includes a substrate having a major surface, a multilayer body on the major surface, and an insulating layer that covers the major surface. The multilayer body includes a first layer and a second layer that overlies the first layer. The first layer is made of a first metal as a main material thereof, and the second layer is made of a second metal as a main material thereof. The second metal has a higher solder wettability than the first metal. As viewed perpendicular to the major surface, the insulating layer is spaced from and surrounds the surface of the second layer so as to define a recess between the multilayer body and the insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 9414513
    Abstract: A plating layer of a Cu-M-based alloy (M represents Ni and/or Mn) is formed on an end surface of a connection terminal member at an exposed side, the Cu-M-based alloy being capable of generating an intermetallic compound with an Sn-based low-melting-point metal contained in a bonding material forming a bonding portion and having a lattice constant different from that of the intermetallic compound by 50% or more. In the reflow process, even if the bonding material is about to flow out by re-melting thereof, since the bonding material is brought into contact with the Cu-M-based plating layer, a high-melting-point alloy of the intermetallic compound is formed so as to block the interface between the connection terminal member and the resin layer.
