  • Publication number: 20100242270
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a wiring circuit board includes the steps of: forming a board on a surface of a metal layer directly or indirectly through an etching barrier layer; forming an insulating film on the surface of the metal layer; polishing the insulating film to an extent to which a top face of the bump is exposed; and forming a solder ball on the top face of the bump.

  • Publication number: 20040201096
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce the number of steps necessary for connecting between a wiring circuit board and a printed circuit board and to achieve a low-cost wiring circuit board. A wiring circuit board (2) includes an insulating film (4), a bump (6), an etching barrier layer (8), and a wiring layer (10). The bump (6) is made of copper and formed to penetrate through the insulating film (4). A top face of the bump (6) is exposed at a surface of the insulating film (4) flush therewith. The etching barrier layer (8) is made of nickel (Ni) and formed underneath the bump (6). The bump (6) is connected to the wiring layer (10) through the etching barrier layer (8). A solder ball (12) is formed on the top face of the bump (6). A printed circuit board (14) as a rigid board is connected to the wiring circuit board (2). A wiring layer (16) is connected to the bump (6) through the solder ball (12) to thereby mount the wiring circuit board (2) to the printed circuit board (14).
