  • Patent number: 10314166
    Abstract: A printed wiring board for mounting a semiconductor element includes an insulating substrate, a first conductor structure on first side of the substrate, and a second conductor structure on second side of the substrate. The substrate has a first area and a second area outside the first area such that when a semiconductor element is mounted on the first side, the first area is directly below the element, the first structure has a first area conductor structure in the first area and a second area conductor structure in the second area, and the first structure is formed such that first ratio is set greater than second ratio, where the first ratio is obtained by dividing volume of the first area structure by area of the first area structure, and the second ratio is obtained by dividing volume of the second area structure by area of the second area structure.

  • Patent number: 7812261
    Abstract: There are provided a multilayer printed circuit board and a testing piece for the printed circuit board, including a substrate having an inner-layer conductor circuit and one or more outer-layer conductor circuits formed on the substrate with an insulating layer laid between the substrate and outer-layer conductor circuit, wherein a strain gauge having a resistive element held tight between resin films formed from polyimide or thermoplastic resin is buried in the substrate, and electrodes electrically connected to the resistive element are exposed to outside from the resin film and are electrically connected at exposed portions thereof to a viahole. Even if a crack is caused by an impact test to take place in the insulative resin layer, the resin film layers prevent the crack from spreading and thus the resistive element forming the strain gauge will not be ruptured.
