Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mounting substrate, the method including: providing an insulation layer, the insulation layer having a circuit pattern formed in one side thereof; forming at least one bonding pad in the other side of the insulation layer, the bonding pad electrically connected with the circuit pattern; and etching the bonding pad such that a surface of the bonding pad is recessed from a surface of the insulation layer by a predetermined depth.

Abstract: A mounting substrate and a method of manufacturing the mounting substrate. The mounting substrate can include an insulation layer, a bonding pad buried in one side of the insulation layer in correspondence with a mounting position of a chip, and a circuit pattern electrically connected to the bonding pad. By utilizing certain embodiments of the invention, the process for stacking a solder resist layer can be omitted, as the bonding pads can be implemented in a form recessed from the surface of the insulation layer. In this way, the manufacturing process can be simplified and manufacturing costs can be reduced. Since the surface of the mounting-substrate on which to mount a chip can be kept flat without any protuberances, the occurrence of voids in the underfill can be minimized. This is correlated to obtaining a high degree of reliability, and leads to a greater likelihood of successful mounting.
