  • Patent number: 10115694
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic part including a first substrate having a group of first terminals over a first front surface and having a concavity in a back surface, a filler placed in the concavity, and a flat plate placed over the back surface with the filler therebetween, and further includes a second substrate disposed on the first front surface side of the first substrate and having a group of second terminals bonded to the group of first terminals over a second front surface opposite the first front surface. The filler and flat plate minimize deformation of the first substrate and variation in the distance between the group of first terminals and the group of second terminals caused by the deformation of the first substrate, which thereby reduces the occurrence of a failure in bonding together the group of first terminals and the group of second terminals.
