Then, laser light is emitted to the core substrate to form a through hole and a metal layer is formed in the through hole. Then, a second laminated structure including at least one conductor layer and at least one resin insulating layer is formed on the core substrate. At that time, the thickness of the conductor layer which is the uppermost layer of the first laminated structure is greater than that of the other conductor layers.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinnosuke Maeda, Tetsuo Suzuki, Takuya Hando, Atsuhiko Sugimoto, Satoshi Hirano, Hajime Saiki

Patent number: 9132494Abstract: A wiring board and a method for manufacturing the wiring board reinforced by means of a resin is provided. Embodiments of the wiring board allow for reliable attachment of a connection member, like a socket, to a terminal member. For example, a base of terminal pins is put on pin grid array (PGA) terminal pads, and a bonding material paste including solder and an electric insulation material made of a resin is placed on each of the PGA terminal pads. The bonding material paste is then heated to fuse the solder and soften the electric insulation material. Subsequently, the bonding material paste is cooled to solidify the solder and bond each of the bases to a corresponding PGA terminal pad and form an electric insulation surface layer on an exposed surface of each of solder junctions to which the respective bases are bonded.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Masahiro Inoue, Hajime Saiki, Atsuhiko Sugimoto

Patent number: 8937256Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wiring board for mounting an electronic component, a wiring board for mounting an electronic component, and a method for manufacturing an electronic-component-mounted wiring board are provided. A bonding material paste, which can include solder and an electric insulation material made of a resin, can be placed on chip mount terminal pads and heated to fuse the solder and soften the electric insulation material. Subsequently, the solder is solidified to form solder bumps. Further, the electric insulation material is cured on a surface of each of the solder bumps and a surface of a multilayer board around each of the solder bumps to form an electric insulation surface layer. Accordingly, when a chip is mounted to such wiring boards, the electric insulation surface layer minimizes or eliminates the connection between adjacent solder bumps during re-fusing of the solder.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Inoue, Hajime Saiki, Atsuhiko Sugimoto
