Abstract: A modified resin base material that includes a resin material having a base at a surface thereof, and a plating catalytic metal on the surface of the resin material, wherein a combination of the plating catalytic metal and the base is at least one of the following Lewis acid-base combinations according to a HSAB principle: a hard acid and a hard base or an intermediate base, an intermediate acid and a hard base, an intermediate base or a soft base, or a soft acid and an intermediate base or a soft base.

Abstract: In an electronic component, an active chip element and a passive chip element are respectively enclosed within first and second resin layers, which are separately disposed on upper and lower surfaces of a core substrate, respectively. The first resin layer includes a shielding metal film disposed on an upper surface thereof and a first via-hole conductor which connects the shielding metal film with a circuit pattern provided on the core substrate. The second resin layer includes an external-terminal electrode disposed on a lower surface thereof and a second via-hole conductor which connects the external-terminal electrode with a circuit pattern provided on the core substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a substrate having built-in components prevents a short circuit caused by the spread of solder or conductive adhesive. Land regions to connect a circuit component and a wetting prevention region surrounding the land regions are formed on one primary surface of a metal foil. Terminal electrodes of the circuit component are electrically connected to the land regions using solder, and an uncured resin is disposed on and pressure bonded to the metal foil and the circuit component, so that a resin layer in which the circuit component is embedded is formed. Subsequently, a wiring pattern is formed by processing the metal foil. The wetting prevention region is a region obtained by roughening or oxidizing one primary surface of the metal foil so as to reduce solder wettability.
