  • Patent number: 7140103
    Abstract: Process for producing a high-density printed wiring board, comprising: providing an ultrathin-copper-foil-clad board having a hole and outermost copper foil thickness of 5 ?m or less, plating the surface by electroless copper plating to form a layer of 0.1 to 1 ?m thickness, forming an electrolytic copper plating layer of 0.5 to 3 ?m thickness using the electroless copper plating layer as electrode, forming a plating resist layer on a portion of the copper plating layer, forming a pattern copper plating layer of 6 to 30 ?m thickness on the copper surface in where the plating resist layer is not formed, by electrolytic plating, removing the plating resist layer, and etching the entire surface to remove the thin electrolytic copper layer, the electroless copper layer and ultrathin copper foil layer at least where the pattern copper plating layer is not formed.

  • Patent number: 6479760
    Abstract: Provided is a printed wiring board for a chip size scale package, which overcomes the poor adhesion of solder balls to a base material which poor adhesion is caused by a recent decrease in the size of the solder balls, and in the chip size scale package, the distortion of the printed wiring board is decreased and the distortion of a semiconductor package formed by mounting a semiconductor chip on the printed wiring board by wire bonding or flip chip bonding is decreased.

  • Patent number: 6031292
    Abstract: A substrate 1 of a insulating resin material is provided with a semiconductor chip 2 in the center of the substrate 1 and a lot of fine studs are filled in the substrate 1 around the chip 2. A bonding pad 13 and a land 14 are formed on both end planes of each stud 12 by silver plating. The length of the stud 12 is determined so that the plane of the land 14 and the back side plane of the substrate are approximately co-planar, but it may be longer. The substrate 1 including the studs 12 having the bonding pad 12 and the land 14 is defined as an interposer 15.
