  • Patent number: 6749889
    Abstract: In a mounting structure including a first electrode and a second electrode electrically connected to each other via a conductive adhesive, the periphery of an adhesion portion between at least one of the electrodes and the conductive adhesive is covered with an electrical insulating layer, whereby the adhesion portion is reinforced from the periphery. The electrical insulating layer may be formed by dissolving a binder resin component of the conductive adhesive in a solvent. This increases the concentration of a conductive filler in the conductive adhesive, so that the conductivity of the adhesion portion is also enhanced.

  • Patent number: 6694613
    Abstract: A method for producing a printed-circuit board includes forming via holes that penetrate through a prepreg to whose surface a parting film is applied; filling the via holes with a conducting paste; compressing the prepreg under heat to cure the prepreg and the paste; and then peeling off the parting film. Thus, projection electrodes with a height corresponding to the thickness of the film are formed in a manner such that the projection electrodes are integrated with the via hole conductors.

  • Patent number: 6372547
    Abstract: In BGA (Ball Grid Array), LGA (Land Grid Array) and the like, a resin layer is formed between an external connecting electrode of a chip carrier and a circuit wiring board. Consequently, the external connecting electrode can be prevented from cracking due to a difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion of the external connecting electrode and the circuit wiring board. Thus, the reliability in a thermal shock test can be enhanced. A connecting wiring which is conducted to an electrode of a semiconductor device is provided on a surface of an electrical insulating board, and the external connecting electrode for connection to a connecting electrode of the circuit wiring board is provided on a back face of the electrical insulating board. The external connecting electrode has a solder ball made of a conductor, and the resin layer formed on the side portion thereof.
