  • Patent number: 9301407
    Abstract: The method of manufacturing a substrate includes: forming a penetrating hole in a base layer; inserting a metal dummy part in the penetrating hole; forming an insulating portion made of synthetic resin to fill a ring-shaped gap between the penetrating hole and the dummy part; forming lower insulating layers, covering the bottom surface of the dummy part, that are made of synthetic resin on the bottom surface of the base layer to be continuous with the insulating portion; forming upper insulating layers, covering the top surface of the dummy part, that are made of synthetic resin on the top surface of the base layer to be continuous with the insulating portion; forming an exposing hole by routing in the upper insulating layers to expose the top surface of the dummy part; and forming a cavity by removing the dummy part exposed through the exposing hole by etching.

  • Patent number: 9253386
    Abstract: A camera module, in which a recessed portion that has a greater depth than the thickness of an imaging device is disposed on the surface (top surface) of an embedded-component substrate. An imaging device is bonded to a bottom of the recessed portion such that an opening is present between the surface (top surface) of the imaging device and the surface (top surface) of the embedded-component substrate. Connection pads on the imaging device are connected to conductor pads disposed on the surface (top surface) of the embedded-component substrate by bonding wires that go through the opening.

  • Patent number: 8963016
    Abstract: Disclosed is a printed wiring board offering improved reliability through increased mechanical strength at the bottom of cavity areas for mounting components. A printed wiring board 10 is characterized in that an insulation layer 16 is formed on either the top or bottom side of a metal core 11, while an opening 12 formed in the metal core 11 is used as a cavity area 15a for mounting a component, wherein a reinforcement pattern 30 is formed on the surface of an insulation layer facing the bottom of the cavity area 15a in the insulation layer 16. The reinforcement pattern 30 is made of the same material as the wiring patterns 28c, 29c formed on the insulation layer 16, and also formed simultaneously with these wiring patterns 28c, 29c.
