  • Patent number: 7911038
    Abstract: A wiring board has an insulating layer, a plurality of wiring layers formed in such a way as to be insulated from each other by the insulating layer, and a plurality of vias formed in the insulating layer to connect the wiring layers. Of the wiring layers, a surface wiring layer formed in one surface of the insulating layer include a first metal film exposed from the one surface and a second metal film embedded in the insulating layer and stacked on the first metal film. Edges of the first metal film project from edges of the second metal film in the direction in which the second metal film spreads. By designing the shape of the wiring layers embedded in the insulating layer in this manner, it is possible to obtain a highly reliable wiring board that can be effectively prevented from side etching in the manufacturing process and can adapt to miniaturization and highly dense packaging of wires.

  • Patent number: 7674989
    Abstract: A wiring board for mounting a semiconductor element or electronic component having a plurality of wiring layers, an insulating layer provided between these wiring layers, and a via which is provided to the insulating layer and which electrically connects the wiring layers. In this wiring board, the cross-sectional shape of the via in the plane parallel to the wiring layers is obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes (circles). Stable operation can be obtained in a semiconductor element by minimizing obstacles to increased density, effectively increasing the cross-sectional area of the via, and preventing the wiring resistance from increasing by making the cross-sectional shape of the via into a shape obtained by the partial overlapping of a plurality of similar shapes.

  • Patent number: 7498249
    Abstract: A resist post is formed on a connection pad of a semiconductor chip, and the semiconductor chip and the resist post are covered by a heat resistant insulating layer. A surface of the insulating layer is next polished by CMP or the like, thus an upper surface of the resist post being exposed. The exposed resist post is then removed by developing processing or the like, thus forming a through hole. A conductor is then embedded in the through hole by plating, thus forming a connecting conductor, and wirings are formed. A method of forming the connecting conductor does not impart damage to the semiconductor chip.
