  • Patent number: 9596765
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a component incorporated substrate according to the present invention includes positioning an electronic component with reference to a mark formed on a copper layer, the mark consisting of a material less easily etched than copper by a copper etching agent used for etching of copper, after mounting the electronic component on the copper layer with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween, embedding the electronic component and the mark in an insulating substrate, thereafter, etching and removing a part of the copper layer to form a window for exposing the mark, forming an LVH reaching a terminal of the electronic component with reference to the exposed mark, electrically connecting the terminal and the copper layer via a conduction via formed by applying copper plating to the LVH, and, thereafter, forming the copper layer into a wiring pattern.

  • Patent number: 9439292
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a circuit board with a buried element having high density pin count, wherein a micro copper window formed in a first circuit by patterned dry film electroplating is easily controlled less than 50 ?m so that the micro conduction holes formed after the laser drilling each has a diameter greatly shrunk less than 50 ?m so as to highly increase density of the micro conduction holes, thereby facilitating in burial of the buried element with the high density pin count. Additionally, by disposing the micro conduction holes in the same elevation, optically aligning a fixing position for the buried element can be controlled precisely.

  • Patent number: 9354476
    Abstract: A window panel includes a first rigid part including a rigid material, a second rigid part including the rigid material, and a base substrate interposed between the first and second rigid parts and including a folding part configured to be folded by an external force. The folding part includes a first area and a second area, which are alternately arranged on a plane surface of the base substrate substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction of the base substrate. The first area includes the rigid material, and at least a portion of the second area includes a soft material. Thus, the rigidity of the window panel is maintained by the rigid material and the flexibility of the window panel is improved by the soft material.

  • Patent number: 9241409
    Abstract: A component-embedded resin substrate includes a plurality of embedded components arranged as embedded in a resin structure. The plurality of embedded components include a first embedded component and a second embedded component. When viewed in a direction of the lamination, a first distance from the first embedded component to the closest end surface is shorter than a second distance from the second embedded component to the closest end surface. A first projection area calculated by multiplying a length along the end surface when the first embedded component is projected on the closest end surface to the first embedded component by a thickness of the first embedded component is smaller than a second projection area calculated by multiplying a length along the end surface when the second embedded component is projected on the closest end surface to the second embedded component by a thickness of the second embedded component.
